O’Neil was nominated for an Academy Award in 1940-- the year this autograph was given-- for her mesmerizing performance as the jealous, domineering Duchesse de Preslin in \u003ci\u003eAll This, and Heaven Too\u003c\/i\u003e, and was also memorable in \u003ci\u003eShining Victory \u003c\/i\u003e(1941), \u003ci\u003eI Remember Mama\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), Otto Preminger’s \u003ci\u003eWhirlpool\u003c\/i\u003e (1949), and \u003ci\u003eThe Nun’s Story\u003c\/i\u003e (1959). O'Neil retired from acting at the age of 49, after only 17 onscreen appearances, and her autograph is extremely uncommon in any format.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":null,"offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68048897966332,"sku":"iaw1793411350663","price":77.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/8326\/2460\/files\/cat-0019751112-barbara-oneil_1.jpg?v=1793411357","url":"https:\/\/latteartkit.shop\/products\/cat-0019751112-barbara-oneil","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
