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 was the first still photographer to win an Academy Award. He went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures, where he worked well into the 1950s.

De Carlo signed with Universal in the mid-1940s. There, she was largely cast in singing parts in musicals, although she pushed for roles with more depth, and was given minor parts in "Brute Force" (1947) and the film noir "Criss Cross" (1949).

6.5 x 8.5 inches. Very Good plus.
