N.p. N.p., Circa 1935. Vintage publicity photograph of actress Anita Louise in a green plaid skirt and matching flannel blouse, circa 1935. Printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso.

From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Anita Louise gained early fame as a WAMPAS Baby Star, later appearing in leading roles in "Madame Du Barry" (1934), "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1935), and "The Phantom Submarine" (1940). By the 1950s her Hollywood career had largely faded, and she appeared primarily in television roles through the remainder of her life.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good, with moderate foxing on the top left corner, and fading on the bottom edge.
