Her film debut came in A Night at Earl Carroll's (1940),[2] after which she appeared in Ziegfeld Girl (1941), Raiders of Red Gap (1943), and Up in Arms (1943).She found work at Monogram Pictures, a "budget" studio specializing in inexpensive entertainments for double-feature theaters. She appeared as an ingenue in a B-western, Arizona Whirlwind (1944), with silent-screen veterans Ken Maynard, Hoot Gibson, and Bob Steele.She signed a contract with RKO Radio Pictures in 1944, and followed the path of other RKO starlets: bit parts and chorus-girl appearances in features, then dialogue roles in short subjects starring Leon Errol or Edgar Kennedy, and then featured roles in "B" pictures and smaller roles in "A" pictures. Myrna Dell was very prolific at RKO, and many fans know her best from these pictures. Beginning as a showgirl in the Eddie Cantor-Joan Davis musical comedy Show Business (1944), Dell gradually worked her way up, from a Zane Grey western to gradually larger roles in three of the studio's popular Falcon mysteries with Tom Conway, and finally becoming established as a hard-boiled glamour girl in film noir thrillers like Nocturne (1946), The Locket (1946), and Destination Murder (1950). She once told a reporter that she loathed the glamour-girl image, stating, "After a time... a girl gets bored with the glamour, the atmosphere, the drinking, the cigarettes to smoke, the wolves."[7] Between assignments she returned to the Leon Errol unit to play dangerous blondes opposite the flustered comic, and would even play incidental walk-ons not calling for any dialogue (she's the nightclub blonde silently kibitzing Tommy Noonan's card game in the 1946 comedy Ding Dong Williams).

NOTE:Authenticating autographs can be challenging, but here are some valuable tips to help you determine their legitimacy:Provenance Matters: Talk to the seller and inquire about any known history or provenance accompanying the item. A documented history adds to its appeal and authenticity.Date Within Its Lifetime: Ensure the autograph?s date aligns with the individual?s lifetime. Obvious forgeries sometimes slip through, like a John Lennon signed photo dated 1981 (he was assassinated in 1980).Signature Flow: Check the flow of the signature. Forgers often keep the pen on the page after the stroke, creating ink blobs. Viewing the signature upside down can reveal differences in flow.Size Consistency: Examine the size of the overall signature. Are individual letters proportionate throughout?Traced Signatures: Beware of shaky or traced signatures. Pencil marks or indentations under the ink may indicate tracing.Historical Context: Be cautious with autographs from pre-15th century, as accomplished people often had others sign for them.Style and Paper Types: Verify that the style matches the stated period, and consider paper types and watermarks.Ink and Pen Types: Water-soluble ink emerged in 1860, and steel pens with furrows appeared in 1780.Authentication Services: Consider professional authentication services like PSA, which use advanced techniques and databases to verify autographs12.Remember, thorough research and expert evaluation are crucial for authenticating autographsNOTE:Authenticating autographs can be challenging, but here are some valuable tips to help you determine their legitimacy:Provenance Matters: Talk to the seller and inquire about any known history or provenance accompanying the item.
