A stunning portrait photo of Kay Francis by Kenneth Alexander, published in Stars of the Photoplay (Photoplay Magazine, Chicago, 1930). Her brief bio recounts a leap from a convent school, to stock, to Broadway, and then to Hollywood, and that she is 5'5" and 112 pounds. Interestingly, she was actually 5'9", one of the tallest leading ladies of the day.
Born in 1905 in Oklahoma Territory, she's 25 years old in this photo. She had made five movies the year before, and nine in 1930. We've discussed her appearances here in Women in the Wind (1939), and The Cocoanuts (1929), and For the Defense (1930).
