[GONE WITH THE WIND]: FLEMING VICTOR: (1889-1949) American Film Director of Gone With The Wind and The Wizard of Oz (both 1939). Academy Award winner. An excellent, extremely rare vintage signed and inscribed 10.5 x 13 photograph, the image depicting Fleming in a head and shoulders pose intensely looking towards the camera. Photograph by Henry Waxman of Hollywood and bearing his blind embossed credit stamp to the lower right corner. Signed by Fleming in dark fountain pen ink to the image, 'Dear Baby, I love you, Victor'. Apparently inscribed to the actress Clara Bow, one of Fleming's lovers. A couple of very light, extremely small corner creases and a few very minor traces of former mounting to the verso, otherwise VG Clara Bow (1905-1965) American Actress, known as 'The It Girl'. Bow starred in the American silent comedy film Mantrap (1926) which was directed by Victor Fleming and was briefly engaged to the director in the same year. Fleming once likened Bow to a Stradivarius violin, stating 'touch her, and she responded with genius'.
