CLAUDETTE COLBERT (2). Youthful 8x10 matte finish black and white reproduction portrait of Colbert circa 1929, boldly signed in later years in black felt tip ink. Fine condition, with slight waviness along the left and right borders, looking somewhat exaggerated in the accompanying scan. This unusual image gives a rare glimpse of the right side of Colbert's face. Once she became established as a leading lady in Hollywood, the willful actress decided that the right side of her face was not sufficiently photogenic and demanded that she only be filmed full-face or showing her left side, and sets had to be constructed and scenes staged to avoid having her right side exposed to the camera. So here is a unique opportunity to indulge your craving to stare at her right side any damn time you please -- and the best part is, there's nothing she can do about it!
