Claire Windsor Black and White Photograph Authentic Signature 212860.

The Collectible Store is proud to present, CLAIRE WINDSOR ("Ola") - her film debut was in the 1920 release of Lois Weber's To Please One Woman which was only a modest success. To promote the nascent starlet, Paramount Pictures often paired Windsor with the newly divorced legendary actor Charlie Chaplin in publicity photographs, leading the tabloid press to give mention to the young actress in print. In 1922 the newly formed Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers (WAMPAS) began their annual WAMPAS Baby Stars awards and named Claire Windsor, along with Bessie Love, Lila Lee, Mary Philbin and Colleen Moore, as the year's most promising starlets.  Throughout the 1920s, Windsor established herself as highly regarded leading lady in film. As her career progressed, she was often typecast as the "upscale society girl", often playing the part of a princess, or monied socialite. Critics lauded her elegant fashion sense, and Windsor became a noted trend-setter of 1920s fashion.  The piece is a  16x20 placed in a 20x24 vertical solid black wooden frame with 1 inch in depth with Tru Vue Conservation Grade UV Protective glass.   The 8x12 sephia photo is centered and dedicated in a black mat with brown borders around the photo. A gold name plate with the engraving in black letters “Claire Windsor" American Film Actress of the Silent Film Era 1892-1972.  The Certificate of Authentication (COA) is from Todd Mueller and is enclosed in an envelope and attached to a white mat on the back of the frame. The frame includes a vertical frame holder attached to the back. The piece weighs 6 pounds.
