Dorothy Parker was a journalist and poet who contributed to magazines such as “Vogue”, “Vanity Fair” and most notably “The New Yorker”. She formed the New York literary group “The Algonquin Round Table” in which artists including Harpo Marx and Edna Ferber were also part of. Parker was also a Hollywood screenwriter, known for 1937’s “A Star is Born” and Hitchcock’s 1942 film “Saboteur”. Parker became involved politics and advocated for human and civil rights. Her involvement in the Communist Party caused her to be blacklisted in Hollywood. Following these events, she completed writing the play “Ladies of the Corridor” in 1953.

Dorothy Parker Large Photo With Inscribed & Signed Mat — 1928
Blacklisted screenwriter Dorothy Parker casts a sideways glance at the camera that captured this image. The columnist and critic inscribes the surrounding mat board: ”To Mr. and Mrs. Adams / from Mrs. Parker / 1928 (I think)”. Parker divorced her husband in 1928, but here still signs as a married woman. The satirist was a founding member of the famous Algonquin Round Table and was known for her wit and troubled personal life. Matte-finish photo is matted to an overall size of 12.25” x 15.75”. Toning and fading to inscription, else very good. An intriguing image of an iconoclastic personality. Sold for $938.
