Andrea King - 5943

Lovely American actress.

After signing with Warner Bros. in 1944 King's career took
off very quickly, and she appeared in nine films in 18 months. Her first
leading role came early on with Hotel Berlin (opposite Helmut Dantine,
1945) and subsequent films include God is My Co-Pilot (1945), the
classic horror film The Beast with Five Fingers (with Peter
Lorre, 1946), Ride the Pink Horse (1947), My Wild Irish Rose (as
Lillian Russell, 1947), Mr Peabody and the Mermaid (1948), the
film noir classic The Violent Hour (1950), the Bob Hope comedy The
Lemon Drop Kid (1951) and Red Planet Mars (1952).

King made many starring television appearances as well, most
notably in the original 1953 live broadcast of Witness for the Prosecution
for Lux Video Theatre (1950) opposite Edward G. Robinson.

The Warner Bros. studio photographers voted King the
most photogenic actress for the year 1945.

This is a very pretty vintage 1940s sepia photograph, nicely signed in period across the image in black fountain pen ink. In very good condition.
