KATHARINE HEPBURN | THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940) Portrait by Clarence Bull

Hollywood: [Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1940]. Vintage original 8 x 10″ (20 x 25 cm.) black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin photo. Typed blurb on verso, some soil at very top edge on verso. About fine.

A stunning portrait of Katharine Hepburn by Clarence Bull (ink stamp on verso) for her return to Hollywood after a two-year absence. So popular was she on Broadway with The Philadelphia Story that she arranged to buy the property’s movie rights and sailed upon a revived movie career which would last the next dozen years with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
