About This Item
Philadelphia: Running Press, 2009. Hardcover. 4to. Black cloth spine with silver lettering and glossy pictorial paper over boards (published without dust jacket). 264pp. Color frontispiece, extensive illustrations (many color), pictorial endpapers. Fine. Superb, bright and tight first edition of this heavily-illustrated survey of the actress's work -- but with primo autograph addition: Tipped to inner flyleaf is a fine color photograph signed by Davis's fourth and final husband (1950-60), actor Gary Merrill (1914-90). This glossy heavy stock 10" X 8" color photograph is a reproduction of a lobby card for the 1950 blockbuster that she and Merrill did together, "All About Eve," and shows this pair at a soiree with Anne Baxter and George Sanders. Merrill signs boldly in red fineline near center.
