Original publicity photograph of actress and dancer Margo

Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures, 1937. Vintage publicity photograph of actress and dancer Margo in 1937. Columbia Pictures stamp on the verso crediting studio photographer Ray Jones, along with a mimeo snipe on the verso noting Margo's 1935 performance in the Broadway play "Winterset" and her current appearance in the 1937 Frank Capra film "Lost Horizon."

From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.

María Margarita Guadalupe Teresa Estela Bolado Castilla y O'Donnell, better known by her mononym Margo, was a Mexican actress and dancer who appeared in stage, film, and television from the mid 1930s to 1970. Her most notable films include "Lost Horizon" (1937), "The Leopard Man" (1943), "Viva Zapata!" (1952), and "I'll Cry Tomorrow" (1955). Beginning in 1950 Margo and her husband, actor Eddie Albert, were blacklisted by the major Hollywood studios for their progressive and antifascist politics. Albert's film career survived the blacklist, but Margo's career was effectively ended by the 1960s, appearing in only two films and one television appearance during the decade.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with a small closed tear and creasing to the bottom left corner.
