Universal City: Universal Studios, 1934. Two vintage publicity photographs of actress Heather Angel, wearing a fur cape, circa 1934. Mimeo snipes on the versos, one announcing Angel's appearance in the 1934 film "Romance in the Rain."

From the collection of author and artist Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Born in Headington, Oxford, in 1909, Angel began her career at the Old Vic in 1926, eventually moving to film work in the 1930s. She is today best remembered as a voice actor in several Walt Disney films, including "Alice in Wonderland" (1951) and "Peter Pan" (1953).

8 x 10 inches. One photograph Very Good, moderately faded, the other Near Fine.
