This vintage real photo postcard features American actress and model, Carol Ohmart (1927-2002). She appeared in many films and television shows from the early 1950’s until the 1970’s. She appeared in a number of well known horror films. She was born to a Mormon family in Utah. In 1946 she competed for and won the title of Miss Utah. She placed fourth in the Miss America contest. She then launched a modelling career. Paramount Pictures signed her in 1955 and promoted her as “the next Marilyn Monroe”. This postcard portrait, produced for Paramount in 1956, clearly is an example of Paramount’s attempt to market Ohmart’s resemblance to Marilyn Monroe. She made her film debut in “The Scarlet Hour” (1956). She then began appearing in television shows and in several horror films including “House on Haunted Hill” (1959). Her last film appearance was in 1974. In 1973, while filming for “Barnaby Jones”, she was attacked on the street by three men. She sustained significant injuries for which she was prescribed painkillers. This led to a several year struggle with addiction to prescription drugs. After acting, she studied New Age philosophy and spiritualism, and wrote poetry and short stories. Ohmart was married three times. She was married for only two years in both her first and second marriages. Her third marriage had a duration of 22 years and ended upon her death. This postcard was published by Kores, a French company. The card is part of a series (#786). The series is comprised of 100 postcard portraits. (SOLD)
This vintage real photo postcard features an actress playing the role of “Chrysis” in the opera “Aphrodite”. The opera is based on the French novel, “Aphrodite : Ancient Morals”, by Pierre Louys. The story is set in Alexandria and tells the story of Chrysis, a courtesan, and the sculptor Demetrios. Chrysis is beautiful and she knows it. She uses her beauty and skill to win the devotion and subservience of men. All the women in town worship Demetrios. He actually preferred his statue of the goddess Aphrodite, over his lover and the other women in town. There is only one woman in town who is not interested in Demetrios. The story goes on from there. The photograph of Chrysis seen on this postcard, was taken by the celebrated photographer, Leopold Reutlinger. He photographed many actresses and beautiful models. The Reutlinger studio was located in Paris, and was highly esteemed. Printed near the top of the postcard are the words “Union Postale Universelle”. The Universal Postal Union was established by the Treaty of Bern (1874) and it’s mission was to coordinates postal policies between member nations. The Union still exists today and is a specialized agency of the United Nations. This postcard is color tinted and is part of a series (no.2239). SOLD
