    Description

    ITEM: This is a 1960 vintage and original Warner Bros. publicity photograph of actress Martha Hyer. The pretty blonde pin-up is gorgeous in a leopard print top with a long skirt as she poses in the studio.
    Lovely Martha Hyer's cinema career has taken a definite turn toward comedy. Following completion of her co-starring role with David Niven and June Allyson in Universal-International's "My Man Godfrey," the blonde actress left for France where she teamed with Bob Hope in a new laugh film. Now back at U-I, Miss Hyer was chosen as the lovely foil for Hollywood's newest comedy team, Rowan and Martin, as they make their movie debut in "Once Upon A Horse," a Western satire. "My Man Godfrey" was directed by Henry Koster and produced by Ross Hunter.
    Photograph measures 8" x 10" on a glossy single weight paper stock.
    Guaranteed to be 100% vintage and original from Grapefruit Moon Gallery.
    More about Martha Hyer:
    Martha Hyer was born on August 10, 1924 in Fort Worth, Texas. Once she finished her formal schooling, Martha played a bit role in 1946's The Locket (1946). Slowly, Martha began picking up roles with more and more substance. The best years for the beautiful actress began in 1954 when she played in films such as Down Three Dark Streets (1954), Showdown at Abilene (1956) and Battle Hymn (1957). Perhaps the best role of her long career was as "Gwen French" in 1958's Some Came Running (1958) in which she starred opposite Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine. As a result of her stellar role, Martha received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress, but she lost out to Wendy Hiller in Separate Tables (1958). Afterwards, Martha's stint on the US silver screen's trailed off some. She did make a handful of foreign films, returning to appear in the US from time to time, but nothing compared to the pace she had in the fifties. Her last film was in 1973 in the film The Day of the Wolves (1971). In 1966, she married producer Hal B. Wallis and remained with him until his death in 1986.
