In full: "[K]indly allow my husband Mr. Edmund Lowe to get into my safe deposit box. Lilyan Tashman (1896-1934) worked as a model in New York and by 1914 she had a job in vaudeville - ever trying to get to Broadway. In 1916 she met Florenz Ziegfeld and at age 20 made her first Ziegfeld Follies appearance and stayed with the show from 1917-1918. The Gold Diggers ran for two years and then she made her first film Experience in 1921. She moved to Hollywood, married fellow actor Edmund Lowe in 1925, and their careers took off! She was especially skilled at playing villainesses and the "other woman". Tashman had no problem transitioning to talkies, making eight films in 1931. She was a lesbian, whose lovers included Greta Garbo, and Lowe was gay; their marriage was an amicable, convenient pairing common in that era. She died at 38 from cancer. Top left corner torn. Corners lightly creased. Horizontal mailing fold through center. Top edge lightly frayed. Otherwise, fine condition. - Please contact us if you have any questions or require additional information.
