On the back of the photo are handwritten notes, including “Barbara La Marr”. Also on the back is a black “PLEASE CREDIT PHOTO BY MILTON BROWN” stamp. BARBARA LAMARR was an American stage and film actress, cabaret artist, and screenwriter. BARBARA LAMARR was known as “The Girl Who Is Too Beautiful, ” after a Hearst newspaper feature writer, Adela Rogers St. Johns, saw a judge sending her home during the police beat in Los Angeles because she was too beautiful and young to be on her own in the big city. Some years after her death, it was revealed that she had given birth to a son. The name of the boy’s father has never been publicly released. The child, Marvin Carville La Marr, was adopted after La Marr’s death by the actress ZaSu Pitts and her husband, film executive Tom Gallery. He was renamed Don Gallery.
