Description: The story of Allyn King is one that resonates as much today as it did nearly 100 years ago. A slim young actress who became the toast of New York, she signed a contract to remain at a certain size and weight (which was abnormally think as per the fashion of the day). As she got older it became harder and harder to maintain the weight restrictions and she suffered mental illness and almost died from pills as a result. Unable to cope with the stress, she jumped to her death from a New York window at the end of the "roaring twenties". The offered double weight studio photograph shows King at her height of fame and popularity wearing a fantastic outfit that screams "flapper". Condition and quality are both nice and this is the only image of this tragic Ziegfeld actress we have ever seen. Measures 7x9 #27778
