It is hard to imagine anyone as beautiful and wealthy as Carole Landis being so desperate that they would take their own life, but that is the case when she was jilted by her lover Rex Harrison which sent her into a tailspin. In one of the most tragic turns in Hollywood history, Landis committed suicide in 1948 at the height of her fame and popularity. The offered studio photograph pictures Landis a few years earlier around 1944. A crystal clear and bold image, this really captures her beauty and the condition is exceptional! Stamped on the back by noted photographer Frank Powolny which is a nice touch!
