Scarce vintage pearl-finish 3.5 x 5.5 photo of Lamarr as an emerging actress, signed in German in fountain pen with her given name, "H. Kiesler." In very fine condition. This example predates Kiesler's decision to change her name to Lamarr in 1937, a move supported by MGM head Louis B. Mayer, who hoped to distance the actress from her controversial role in the 1933 film Ecstasy.
