US$1,083
Beschreibung:

A Mitzi Gaynor 1952 silver Henrietta Award Silver painted statuette of a nude female holding a flower standing upon a round base, with "A. Katchamakoff" carved into the base. In 1952, Mitzi was voted "Best Young Box Office Personality" by the Foreign Press Association of Hollywood, an organization that had briefly broken off from the Hollywood Foreign Correspondent Association (known for giving the Golden Globe Awards), and which had decided to give their own awards. Other stars in 1952 who received the silver Henrietta Award were Marilyn Monroe Leslie Caron, Tony Curtis John Derek, and Patrice Wymore, and the six winners even posed for publicity photographs together. At the time of the awards ceremony on January 26, 1952, Mitzi had appeared in 3 feature films and her star was on the rise. Because they were only given during a 2-year period, surviving Henrietta Awards are a rare find. Accompanied by a photo of Mitzi receiving the award from Lex Barker and Arlene Dahl. 10 x 10 x 24 in.
