Original publicity photograph of Gloria DeHaven

Universal City: Universal Pictures, 1954. Vintage publicity photograph of singer and actress Gloria De Haven, brandishing a pair of balloons in honor of the new year. Printed mimeo snipes affixed to the verso.

Beginning her film career as a child actor, DeHaven is perhaps best remembered today for her singing performances in comedies and film musicals in the 1940s and 1950s, as in "Two Girls and a Sailor" (1944) and "Down Among the Sheltering Palms" (1952).

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.
