Description: Here is a stunning rare very early vintage original autographed 8" by 10" photo of singer and actress Kathy Barr (1929-2008), from her prime in the 1950s. Known for the 1961 movie Force of Impulse. Born Marilyn Sultana Aboulafia, Kathy Barr was an American vocalist who performed and recorded popular, jazz, musical theater, and operettas. Her stage name was drawn from the first and married surname of her maternal grandmother, Katie Barr. Barr was born on June 4, 1929, in the Bronx, New York, to Ovadia "Ovid" Aboulafia (1900–1978), who, himself, was born in Çeşme, Turkey, and Eabeta "Tessie" Barr (1908–1978), a native New Yorker. Barr flourished from the 1950s through the mid-1960s in musical theater, nightclubs, television, and radio. She was acclaimed for her coloratura soprano range,[3] three and one-half octaves by at least one account (see Annotations below, "Vocal Range Context"), and her ability to sing pop, jazz, and classical. Upon marrying for the second time, in 1965, Barr retired from as a recording artist, although she continued to perform club dates (one-nighters) and regional musical theater productions until around 1968. These later roles included Billy Dawn (Judy Holliday's role) in Born Yesterday (November 25, 1967–January 7, 1968) at the Hamlet Street Theater (now named the Rauh Theater) in Pittsburgh; and a hymn singer seeking to save men's souls in Guys and Dolls, starring Tony Martin, at the Meadowbrook Theater Restaurant in Cedar Grove, New Jersey (May 29, 1968–June 30, 1968). Crease lower right, minor corner and edge wear, ink skipping signature. Rare. Will ship worldwide. I always combine shipping on multiple orders.
