EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1929, we see a young Anna Held, aged just 15, standing proudly between her mother and a later image of herself. The top right image captures the moment of their shared happiness, with Anna's mother wrapping her protective arm around her daughter's shoulders, as they both gaze adoringly into the camera. The bottom left photograph, taken years later, shows a more mature Anna Held, radiant and confident in her role as a jazz age entertainer. Anna Held was a true theatrical legend, known for her captivating performances as a singer, dancer, and comedian on both the Broadway and Paris stages. Born in France in 1878, she began her career as a music hall comedian, developing a naughty persona that delighted audiences with her wit and beauty. Her mother, a former opera singer, encouraged and supported her daughter's dreams, even as they faced numerous challenges and hardships. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the strong bond between mother and daughter, as well as the transformative power of the entertainment industry. Anna Held went on to become an international sensation, gracing the covers of magazines and musical comedies, and leaving a lasting impact on the world of jazz age entertainment. Her legacy continues to inspire artists and performers today, as a testament to the enduring power of talent, determination, and the love and support of family.
