Original Bert Six photograph of the American actress, signed in green ink to the lower right of the image. Photographer's stamp to verso, together with a handwritten note identifying Wyman as "Mrs. Ronald Reagan" and identifying her role in the 1946 film Night and Day. Quarter-inch tear to right margin, creases to lower and upper left corners, and mounting remnants to verso, else fine. 8 x 10 inches; 20.3 x 25.4 cm.
Wyman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress four times between 1946 and 1954, winning in 1948 for Johnny Belinda. Later in life she found great success as a member of the cast of Falcon Crest, on which she played the villainous matriarch Angela Channing. She and Ronald Reagan co-starred in the 1938 film Brother Rat, and married two years later. Their marriage lasted until 1948, when the couple filed for divorce. Wyman, a registered Republican, stated that their divorce was due in part to political differences. Reagan was still a Democrat at the time.
From the collection of Paul McMahon, a critic, photographer and artist who worked for more than 13 years touring with Marlene Dietrich as the icon’s stage manager, announcer, dresser, secretary and escort, and later spent 25 years as an arts and entertainment reviewer and photographer with Gay Community News, Esplanade, Tommy’s Connection, The Mirror, Bay Windows and other publications.
