{"product_id":"jean-kent-7239","title":"Jean Kent - 7239","description":"British actress who matured in the 1940s from a pretty bit of decoration feeding lines to Arthur Askey and Jimmy Hanley into a sexy femme fatale.\n\nKent was born into show business with her parents working the Music Halls and joined the chorus at theWindmill Theatre at the age of fifteen.\n\nThe stage review Apple Sauce (in which she was stooge to Max Miller) got her noticed and a contract at Gainsborough.\n\nHer films for the studio include Fanny By Gaslight (1944), Madonna of the Seven Moons (1944), Waterloo Road (1945), The Rake's Progress (1945), The Wicked Lady (1945), The Magic Bow (1946), Bond Street (1948), Sleeping Car To Trieste (1948), The Woman in Question (1950), The Browning Version (1951), The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) and The Grip of the Strangler (1958).\n\nThis is a very pretty original vintage black and white publicity photograph (8\" x 10\") for The Magic Bow (1946), in which she played Bianchi. There's an amusing inscription and signature (\"To Ginger*, The old so and so wet my lace, Jean\") in dark blue fountain pen ink across the image. Pinholes in each corner, a light bump to the top right corner and a scattering of very light handling \"dings\" but in good overall condition.\n\n* \"Ginger\" is Doris Baker, with a pencilled note to the reverse saying that she is \"Britain's only female film director\".","brand":"Clickautographs","offers":[{"title":"1colour \/ 1size \/ Authentic","offer_id":57853610623308,"sku":"244","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/9222\/3052\/files\/jean_kent_to_ginger.jpg?v=1785520224","url":"https:\/\/midsussexcollectibles.com\/en-gb\/products\/jean-kent-7239","provider":"Mid Sussex Collectibles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
