A Heinrich Ross card of silent and talkie actress Evelyn Brent in a really marvelous 1920s (possibly early 30s?) costume.
Born Mary Elizabeth Riggs, Evelyn Brent (1901-1975) was born in Tampa, Florida and as a girl, went by Betty, After losing her mother at an early age, and being brought up by her dad, she moved to New York City with the intention of becoming a teacher, but found more money in modeling, and became involved in the early motion picture industry. She made a number of silent films, as well as appearing on the stage in England, made the transition to the talkies, and later, even appeared in a little television. She was never a huge star, but worked regularly and was admired as a professional. She also appeared on a number of cards in wowie costumes, this being one :) A very nice, unposted card that offers an image so expressive of the flapper era. Please examine our high res scans for detail.
