Vintage portrait photograph of Wanda Hendrix, with a mimeo snipe affixed to the verso noting her role of Pita in the 1947 film noir, "Ride the Pink Horse" (1947). From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s. Film and television actress Wanda Hendrix appeared in 28 films from 1945 through 1973, and made her first film, "Confidential Agent" (1945) at the age of sixteen. Among the films she is perhaps best remembered include "Ride the Pink Horse" (1947), Miss Tatlock's Millions" (1948), and "Prince of Foxes" (1949). She largely retired from films in 1954 after marrying and worked in live television dramatic anthology shows in the 1950s such as "Pulizer Prize Playhouse," "Robert Montgomery Presents," "The Plymouth Playhouse," "The Ford Television Theatre," "The Revlon Mirror Theater," and "Schlitz Playouse," as well as occasionally appearing in later television series such as "Bat Masterson," "My Three Sons," "Wagon Train," and "Bewitched." 8 x 10 inches.
