Marian Marsh's Makeup Box....

Description

Marian Marsh's Makeup Box. In a 1998 interview with actress Marian Marsh, she referenced a makeup box given to her by Academy Award-winning actress Marie Dressler. Marsh surely had numerous makeup kits and containers, but this is the only "makeup box" in her possession, and it is most likely that treasured gift from the legendary actress. The top and the front panel of the 7" x 13" x 6" box open to expose a mirror, a small wooden drawer, and four compartments. In Very Good condition with a few lines of discoloration to the mirror and minor nicks to the brown textured leather exterior. From the Marian Marsh Archive.
