Description: 

Margret Breen was originally born in Missouri but moved to California to pursue an acting career. She was busy in the 1930s, starring in films such as "Heads Up" (1930), "Selling Shorts" (1931) and "It Might Be Worse" (1931). She was married to fellow actor Art Hamburger. Here we see a frontal view of her holding her hands listlessly over her chest as she looks over her left shoulder. A large rose in her hair greets the viewer while her expression appears slightly annoyed. A photomanipulation by Hixon circumvents the shadow of her profile with a bright halo effect.
