In good condition. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the autograph is not included. 6'2\"-foot tall, 230-pound character actress Hope Emerson, with her trademarked sidelong stares and grimly set mouth, played formidable villains and women-to-be-reckoned-with in both comedy and drama films of the 1940s and 1950s. She was unforgettable as a crafty, murderous masseuse in Robert Siodmark's film noir \u003ci\u003eCry of the City\u003c\/i\u003e (1948); a circus strongwoman, tossing attorney Spencer Tracy about a courtroom like a rag doll in \u003ci\u003eAdam's Rib\u003c\/i\u003e (1949); and the sadistic prison matron in the cult classic \u003ci\u003eCaged\u003c\/i\u003e (1950), for which she earned an Oscar nod. She was also marvelous in \u003ci\u003eHouse of Strangers\u003c\/i\u003e (1949), \u003ci\u003eThieves' Highway\u003c\/i\u003e (1949), \u003ci\u003eWestward the Women\u003c\/i\u003e (1951), and the Bob Hope comedy \u003ci\u003eCasanova's Big Night\u003c\/i\u003e (1954).  In the late 1950s, Emerson lent her distinctive voice to Elsie the Cow in a series of T.V. commercials for Bordens, dying shortly thereafter of liver disease, aged only 62 years.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792197136521,"sku":"pzt1793133295448","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0767\/3246\/5289\/files\/cat-0013231-hope-emerson_1.jpg?v=1793133304","url":"https:\/\/joywall.shop\/products\/cat-0013231-hope-emerson","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
