Portrait Sketches

by Norman Sweetser


Below are eight of Mr. Sweetser's large (8 1/2" x 11") sketches. Each was drawn on the back of a page from a radio script, the lines of which can be seen bleeding through the paper.

Top row, left to right: George Ansbro, Ed Herlihy, Marjorie Anderson and Janet Dowling. Bottom row, left to right: Mitzi Gould, Ann Leaf, Tess Sheehan and Ruth Russell.


The seven smaller sketches below are affixed to 8 1/2" x 11" scrapbook pages. In many cases Mr. Sweetser noted on the sketch the name of the actor or actress, the play in which the person appeared, and the role he or she played.

Left page, from upper left corner: Grethe Ruzt-Nissen, George Mitchell, Pascal Cowan and Fay Walker. Right page, from top: Marion Ballou, George Barbier and Kay Johnson.
