You are bidding on a Ann Sothern Autographed 8x10 photo. Ann Sothern (, – , ) was an with a career spanning six decades. Born Harriette Arlene Lake in , Sothern left home very young and began her film career as an extra in Broadway Nights (1927), aged 18. During 1929 and 1930, she appeared as a chorus girl in such films as and (as one of the ""). In 1934 she signed a contract with but after two years the studio released her from this contract, and she was signed by in 1936. After a string of films that failed to attract an audience, Sothern left RKO and was signed to , making her first film for them in 1939. In a role originally intended for , Sothern was cast in (1939) as brassy Brooklyn burlesque dancer Mary Anastasia O'Connor who also goes by the stage name Maisie Revere. In Mary C. McCall Jr.'s screenplay of Wilson Collison's novel, Maisie is stranded penniless in a small Wyoming town, takes a job as a ranch maid and becomes caught in a web of romantic entanglements. After years of trying, Sothern had her first real success, and a string of "Maisie" comedy sequels followed, beginning with Congo Maisie (1940) and continuing until Undercover Maisie (1947) in which Maisie infiltrates a gang of con men headed by a phony swami. Reviewing Swing Shift Maisie (1943), Time praised Sothern: - Swing Shift Maisie (MGM) is one of those B-budget marrow bones which are tossed to the simple appetites of the sticks, but which many a choosy cinemaddict prefers to the average A-budget epic. In part this is due to cinemactress Ann Sothern, one of the smartest comediennes in the business. In part it is due to a crisp script, which manages to lather up a good deal of apt comic comment on the lives and habits of U.S. defense workers. The film's central characters are Good Girl Maisie Revere (Miss Sothern in her sixth Maisie picture) and Bad Girl Iris (Jean Rogers). They are sidelighted by a cocky test pilot, for whom Maisie falls hard, and by a bolt & nut man—the chinny type who assures every new girl in the plant that he knows all the angles. Maisie, an ex-showgirl, has an undulant walk that elicits wolf calls from welders' masks as she saunters about the plant. But Maisie is a model of kindliness, courage, efficiency.
