This photograph was given to her good friend Leonard Scumachi...

 a professional dancer in Hollywood and Las Vegas.

Leonard would also go on to write books and was in the process of writing Betty Grable's life story 

with her guidance when she took ill and died a short time after. I will be listing more items that 

belonged to Betty Grable in the coming days, so keep checking back. There are very rare unpublished

photographs, Betty's personal scrapbooks, autographed pictures and handwritten letters. I also have Betty's

personal Barbie doll collection with each one meticulously dressed in custom costumes representing her characters 

in film and on Broadway. Just an amazing collection!

This picture is in excellent condition and is a tough find. A touch of very light age staining at the bottom that would matte out nicely.

Most signed photographs that come on the market are 8 x 10's,

it's very rare that an oversized 11 x 14 ever shows up, as these were usually given to close friends and family.

This will come with a full letter of authenticity detailing the aquisition of this 

collection from the estate of the late Leonard Scumaci.
