Cat. #00147043: ALIZA GUR

VERY tough to find 4x6-inch black and white glossy portrait, boldly signed in black felt-tip marker in the 1990s. In good condition, with a crease to the lower right-hand area, essentially invisible when the photo is viewed head-on. Beauty queen Aliza Gur, who was both Miss Israel and a semifinalist in the Miss Universe pageant in 1960, is best remembered for the role of Vida, who wrestles with Martine Beswicke in the James Fond classic From Russia with Love (1968). She landed the role because, at the time of filming, she was the roommate of the movie's star, Daniela Bianchi. This is just the second example of her autograph we have ever encountered.
