Description

A studio portrait of Helen Kaiser by Amos Carr, Hollywood, ca. 1940s. The head-and-shoulders view shows the former dancer and actor in a partial profile view and wearing a black outfit with a brooch, what looks like a caftan and a light-colored headscarf while she has a cigarette in a holder in her left hand. Kaiser was a former protege of Frank E. Montgomery, husband of Josephine M. Workman (Princess Mona Darkfeather). With a missing bottom left corner, edge silvering and light soiling, the condition is good.
