Description
This is a vintage RKO Feature Service "Hollywood's Personality of the Week" photo kit of Rosalind Russell.
It features a beautiful real photo of Rosalind along with a three-page feature, all in a paper folder. It was from when she was in the Independent Artists film The Velvet Touch (1948). Independent Artists was the production company formed by Rosalind and her husband; The Velvet Touch was their first film, and it was released by RKO Radio Pictures.
From what we can find, we believe original RKO Feature Service folders are hard to come by. We never have come across another one, and the only thing like it we could find online is at a well-known vintage movie memorabilia site; it is for a John Wayne movie and is from 1949. The purveyor of that site states: The lot also includes the RKO Feature Service folder (which I have never seen for sale in 30 years of collecting), that contained the still, and two descriptive sheets pertaining to the still and other publicity material distributed for the film. The still in that kit is a silver gelatin photograph, but I don't know whether the photo I am selling is - view the photos below and judge for yourself.
SIZE: Approx. 10" x 13".

Condition
Most of photo is in very good condition- the edges have chipping, a tear about ½" in from edge and a dog-ear on right corner. Photo is glued onto the folder, but only about 2" of the photo was glued on. There is glare from our studio lights in the top left and along the right edge - it's not part of the photo.
