John F. Kennedy & Jackie Kennedy Signed Photo Measuring 9″ x 13.25″ — Also Signed by Photographer, Alfred Eisenstaedt
Evocative photograph signed by John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy as they campaigned for the Presidency in 1960. Silver gelatin photograph is also signed at lower right by Alfred Eisenstaedt, who took the photo and writes about it on the verso, “This…shows John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy on a campaign trip to New York City in September 1960, after he was chosen by the Democratic Convention to be their standard bearer. Please put it in your collection, I think it is very valuable. Eisenstaedt”. Jacqueline Kennedy inscribes the front of the photo to “Eisie”, the nickname used by Eisenstaedt’s friends and family, “with gratitude” after which the future President and First Lady sign their names, “John Kennedy” and “Jacqueline Kennedy”. With Eisenstaedt’s stamp on verso, “PHOTO BY ALFRED EISENSTAEDT” as well as a stamp by Life magazine. Photo measures 9″ x 13.25″.

Captivating photo of Audrey Hepburn from ”My Fair Lady”, measuring 11” x 14”, and from Audrey’s personal collection. Photo is by Cecil Beaton, who won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for ”My Fair Lady”, as well as for Best Art Direction, with the stamp on verso: ”Please acknowledge photograph by Cecil Beaton”. Beaton first met Hepburn after the release of ”Roman Holiday”, and was instantly taken with her charm, commenting in his diary that ”She appears to take wholesale adoration with a pinch of salt; gratitude rather than puffed-up pride…” Hepburn’s ease, with Beaton as photographer, and her natural beauty is captured nicely in this photograph. Semi-gloss silver gelatin photo on double weight paper was taken for a US Vogue photo shoot in late 1963 prior to the release of ”My Fair Lady”, one of the most highly anticipated films in Hollywood history. Photo is in near fine condition. Sold for $4,375.

Audrey Hepburn Signed 8” x 10” Photo From ”My Fair Lady” — Near Fine — With JSA COA
Rare Audrey Hepburn signed 8” x 10” photo, depicting her as Eliza Doolittle from ”My Fair Lady”. Near fine condition, with a bold signature. With a COA from JSA.
Sold for $2,250.
Paramount Pictures founder Adolph Zukor letter signed to Audrey Hepburn, a week after ”My Fair Lady”, one of the most anticipated films in Hollywood history, premiered to resounding critical and commercial success. Despite the fact that Warner Bros. produced the film, rather than Paramount, Zukor was so enchanted by Hepburn and the film that he sent a congratulatory note to its star. On his Paramount letterhead Zukor writes on 29 October 1964, ”My dear Audrey: It gives me great pleasure to congratulate you on your portrayal of MY FAIR LADY. / Your distinguished accomplishment will make history in the performing arts. / With sincere admiration, Cordially, [signed] Adolph Zukor”. Letter is from Audrey Hepburn’s personal collection.
Zukor had long been an admirer of Hepburn’s, predicting after her breakout role in ”Roman Holiday” that she would be the greatest actress the cinema had ever seen. ”My Fair Lady” swept the 1964 Academy Awards though Hepburn was rebuffed for her portrayal as Eliza Doolittle owing, many suspect, to the uncredited dubbing of her voice by Marni Nixon and the fact that Julie Andrews, star of the stage production, wasn’t cast as Doolittle. Nevertheless, the film was hugely popular, with Hepburn’s ”exquisite” performance widely acclaimed. Elegant letter measures 6.5” x 8.5”. With a single fold, in near fine condition. A rare letter, personally owned and well-preserved by Hepburn regarding ”My Fair Lady”, her most desired role. Sold for $2,188.

A few light surface dings to image, otherwise fine condition. Sold for $1,700.
