By Virginia Weidler (subject)
Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures, 1936. Vintage publicity photograph of child actress Virginia Weidler in a polka-dot-lined sundress, circa 1936. Mimeo snipe on the verso promoting Weidler's appearance in the 1936 film "Girl of the Ozarks."

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.

Actress Virginia Weidler found her greatest success in Hollywood as a child, during the 1930s and 1940s, most notably in "The Women" (1939) and "The Philadelphia Story" (1940). She retired from the screen at age 16, after appearing in over 40 films.

8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, with light creases on the left edge and bottom left corner.
