Original 10 1/8 inch x 8 inch Portrait of GRACE MOORE
Grace Moore (1901 – 1947) was born in Tennessee. Vivacious blonde lyrical soprano of Broadway musicals, then the Metropolitan Opera, she starred in two MGM films of the early 1930s but was fired when she put on too much weight. She was then hired by Columbia and starred in a string of successful productions, which helped to popularize opera on the screen. She was nominated for a best actress Academy Award for her performance in ‘One Night of Love’ (1934). She was killed in a plane crash over Copenhagen during a European concert tour. She had written an autobiography, ‘You’re Only Human Once’ (1944). Kathryn Grayson portrayed her in the film biography ‘So This Is Love’ (1953).
The portrait is in very good condition with minor surface marks.
