A vintage 5x3 card signed in person by Annabella (1907 - 1996), the French cinema actress who appeared in Hollywood films during the late 1930s and 1940s. Having established herself as one of France's most popular cinema actresses during the 1930s she was cast as the female lead in the British-made film Wings of the Morning (1937) with Henry Fonda. Under contract to 20th Century Fox, she went to America and appeared in Suez (1938) with Tyrone Power, with whom she began a romance. Darryl F. Zanuck, the boss at 20th Century Fox, did not want his matinee idol married, so he offered her a multi-movie deal that would take her overseas. She refused to leave Power, and on completion of Suez she returned to France to obtain a divorce from her then-husband Jean Murat. She and Tyrone Power married on 23 April 1939. Whilst her husband was serving in the Marine Corps during World War Two, Annabella starred in Bridal Suite, Tonight We Raid Calais and Bomber's Moon. She also embarked on an affair with author Roald Dahl, who later confessed that it was an intense and passionate relationship during which Dahl 'learned a lot about sex from the actress'. After the war Annabella starred in 13 Rue Madeleine (1947) with James Cagney. She and Power divorced in 1948, and Annabella returned to France. She appeared in Don Juan (1950), and her final film was released in 1952. After a 1954 television appearance in the American series Suspense, she retired. Annabella died in 1996 after suffering a heart attack in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France, aged 89, and was interred in Passy Cemetery in Haute-Savoie (France).
