A black-and-white photograph headshot of actress Hattie McDaniels in costume as her character role "Mammy" in the motion picture Gone With the Wind. McDaniels is depicted in three-quarters profile view from the shoulders up, wearing one light-colored kerchief tied around her head and another around her neck. She also wears small earrings, which slightly out of focus. She looks straight ahead, unsmiling, with a slightly furrowed brow. There are no marks or inscriptions, front or back.
