The portrait depicted here is of Irene Rich. Rich was a successful San Francisco real estate agent who received her first movie job as an extra in Mary Pickford’s "Stella Maris" in 1918. She graduated to starring roles in silent melodramas. Rich eventually made the transition to talkies, joining Will Rogers in a series of pictures. She appeared in 21 Warner Bros. movies including "The Champ" in 1931 and John Ford’s "Fort Apache" in 1948. Her career totaled more than 100 screen credits. Rich also starred in the ‘30s and ‘40s radio anthology program "Dear John" and performed in several Broadway shows. This photographic print captures the side profile of the actress gazing left with a slightly bemused expression. The most prominent article of clothing of Rich’s attire is the patched cloche style hat indicative to the era.
