HAZEL SCOTT | I DOOD IT (1942) Photo

[Los Angeles]: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, [1942]. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white glossy silver gelatin photo. Typed information blurb and ink stamp of 604 on verso. Minor wear, near fine.

Lovely portrait of the talented pianist of New York’s Café Society nightclub. This was the second of her very few screen appearances. A child prodigy born in Trinidad and known for jazz and blues, she could perform all genres of music including classical.
