Vintage glossy 8 x 10.25 portrait of Bondi, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To W. L. Bessette, Cordially—Beulah Bondi.” The reverse bears a pair of The News Library stamps. Some scattered light surface marks and creases, otherwise fine condition.

Beulah Bondi (May 3, 1888 – January 11, 1981) was an American character actress; she often played eccentric mothers and later grandmothers and wives, although she was known for numerous other roles.

She played supporting roles in several films during the 1930s, and was twice nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. She played the mother of James Stewart in four films: Of Human Hearts, Vivacious Lady, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), and It's a Wonderful Life (1946). Although at her height in Hollywood from the 1930s until the 1950s, Bondi never retired, and she continued acting well into her later years, at the age of 88 winning an Emmy Award for her guest-star role on The Waltons in 1976.
