EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Helen Morgan, an American singer and actress who rose to prominence during the Jazz Age of the 1930s. Born in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1900, Morgan's career began in vaudeville before she made her Broadway debut in the chorus of "Shuffle Along" in 1921. She went on to become a popular cabaret performer in New York City, known for her powerful voice and expressive stage presence. In this image, taken in 1930, Morgan is depicted in her prime, exuding confidence and allure. Her piercing gaze and red lips draw the viewer in, while her elegant dress and intricately beaded headpiece add to her glamorous air. The backdrop of the photograph, with its Art Deco patterns and muted colors, further emphasizes the sophistication of the era. Morgan's career reached new heights in the late 1930s when she starred in the Broadway production of "I'd Rather Be Right," alongside Eddie Cantor and Fanny Brice. She continued to perform in nightclubs and on the stage until her untimely death in 1941, at the age of 40. This portrait is a testament to Morgan's enduring legacy as a beloved entertainer and icon of the 1930s. Her influence can still be felt in the world of jazz, cabaret, and American popular music, making this image a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs.
