Minna Gombell signed 10×8 vintage sepia photo comes with original personalised mailing envelope dated 28th Dec 1938. Minna Marie Gombell (née Gombel; May 28, 1892 – April 14, 1973) was an American stage and film actress. Stars of over 50 films 1929, 1951. Minna began her film career in 1929. Although her specialty was street-wise, tough-talking blondes, she displayed quite a repertoire of varied characters during her movie career. She was best friend and steadying influence on Sally Eilers in Bad Girl (1931), a conflicted and unhappy mother in After Tomorrow (1932), the cold wife of The Thin Man (1934), a waspish wife in Babbitt (1934), brassy burlesque performers in Stepping Sisters (1932), a spunky wagon-line owner in Doomed Caravan (1941), and a tough nurse presiding over The Snake Pit (1948). She also had occasional leads, for instance as the gold-digger Stella in Bachelor’s Affairs (1932), a comedy with Adolphe Menjou. Good condition.
