Autographs: Celebrities and Entertainers


What's New in the Collector's Showcase of Autographs: Celebrities and Entertainers?
The Most Recent Additions to This Category are First!
Sophia Loren autograph: b/w portrait print of the young Sophia Loren, hand signed by Sophia Loren.

The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


Size: 4,1 in. x 6,1 in. Very fine condition.


Loren began her film career in the early 1950s and had an early success in 1951 in the blockbuster Quo Vadis.


By the mid-'50s, Loren was a star in Italy as well as a major sex symbol, but with the exception of 1955's Attila Flagello di Dio, co-starring Anthony Quinn, few of her pictures were distributed internationally. That changed with Vittorio de Sica's L'Oro di Napoli. Loren was singled out for the strength of her performance as a Neapolitan shopkeeper, surprising many critics who had dismissed her as merely another bombshell.


In her 60s Loren made very well-received appearances in Robert Altman's Ready to Wear and the 1994 comedy Grumpier Old Men playing a femme fatale opposite Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.


In 1991, Loren received an honorary Academy Award for her contribution to world cinema and was declared "one of the world cinema's treasures".  Movie Still from MGM Shoot the Moon, 1981, starring Tracy Gold, Tina Yothers, Viveka Davis, and Diane Keaton who has signed Diane Keaton at the right margin.

Obtained in person while exhibiting at an upper East Side New York antique and collectible show in 1983 frequented by Diane Keaton as well as the legendary Joe Franklin (who to his chagrin looked on as she signed). Franklin was always looking for interesting items to talk about on his radio and television broadcasts.  


 Ginger Rogers (1911-1995) signed MGM studio publicity photograph, approximately 8 x 10, mild  crease and slight edge discoloration, else in very good condition.


Ginger Rogers was an American actress, dancer, and singer who appeared in film, and on stage, radio, and television throughout much of the 20th century.


Rogers models hairdo which was featured in The Barkleys of Hollywood.




 Typewritten letter signed Edward Biberman, circa 1970s, addressed to Kaleria Fedicheva, thanking her for a photographs and a booklet of mutual interest.  He refers to the success of his latest exhibition in Los Angeles and hopes that she will attend another in the future.


Letter has been cropped and slightly affects "E’ of Edward, else in very good condition.


Edward Biberman (1904-1986) was a prolific Modernist artist known for his murals reflecting social and political themes as well as his portraits of celebrities of the times, two of which (Lena Horne and Dashiell Hammett) are displayed in the Smithsonian Institute.


Kaleria Fedicheva (1936-1994) was one of the premier ballerinas of the Kirot Ballet who partnered with Valery Panov as well as contemporary with Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov and Natalia Makarova. 


Seldom found Biberman correspondence and with interesting content.

Sexy Jane Russell b/w photo (probably after a movie still), hand-signed.

The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


4,9 in. x 6,9 in. (12,4 x 17,6 cm), fine condition.


Voluptuous sex symbol and star of Hollywood films, TV, and nightclubs, Jane Russell studied theater at Max Reinhardt's Theatrical Workshop and with Maria Ouspenskaya. She won the lead role in Howard Hughes' The Outlaw (1941). The film caused a storm of controversy and was not officially released until 1950. The controversy brought her much publicity.


However, she surpassed her mindless "bombshell " image and went on to perform with versatility in a number of films during the subsequent three decades, including comedies with Bob Hope and musicals with Marilyn Monroe.  Dee Dee Bridgewater trading card for the CD This is New. Handsigned and dedication. Autograph from 2000.


The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. 


Size: 4,1 x 5,8 inches, fine condition.

This Broadway baby, chorus girl and burlesque performer is wearing a revealing black beaded jazz-age flapper dress. The studio is Butler in Chicago and is etched into the negative. 


Strong, 100% authentic signature in dark ink, inscribed to Vera. Matte finish. 


Much of the collection I am selling belonged to Tyrone Guthrie (who founded the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis). I purchased it from the person who got them directly from the Guthrie Theatre about 20 years ago. Guthrie acted & directed the Shakespeare Birthday Festival at the Old Vic Theatre in London with people like Michael Redgrave, Alec Guinness, Jessica Tandy, Harcourt Williams and Laurence Olivier. He amassed a huge amount of memorabilia, photos, playbills and signatures but some were sold off in the 80's and 90's. 


SIZE:

Approx 8" x 10" 


CONDITION:

Most of this photo is excellent with very little wear. The right bottom corner has a soft crease and left corner has 1" clean tear that goes into a crease. Similar to what may happen when you pick up a photo from the corner. Heavyweight paper. 


Similar items listed--more from the same estate. Guaranteed old & original.  This is a VINTAGE hand written letter and two signatures (both letter & envelope) from RICHARD ARLEN. 

Dated May 21, 1969 -- Arlen used his personal stationery with his embossed gold name on top. 

The envelope also has his full signature on the back. Post-dated May 23 1969. He has very distinct writing with quite the flourish. 


An interesting letter discussing some reviews he received that were written by the recipient. He says he "enjoyed them more than the last running of Wings" (his famous 1927 movie) and the reason for its new life is because Kelly Field, Texas had its 50th anniversary and showed the movie at the premier celebration. The Aztec theatre was packed with 3500 people and the public demanded it be run for them also. He ends by saying that, "things are pretty bad when a 42 year old movie can out gross a new one". 


There was also a promotional appearance for the movie 'Wings' on the TV series Petticoat Junction on 9 November 1968. Richard Arlen and Buddy Rogers appear as themselves when they agree to attend the premiere of their 1927 classic 'Wings', after Hooterville had been passed over for the original premiere. 


SOME TRIVIA: 

The highlights of 'Wings' come in the battle scenes, and they are very impressive. Done without computers or other advantages, they are exciting and are usually completely realistic. The aerial dogfight scenes are especially dazzling. This part of the movie is not shallow stuff, either, since it has a good balance between the thrilling and the horrifying. 


In the close-up scenes where Jack and David (and other characters) are flying, the actors are actually working the planes themselves. To shoot these scenes, the actors had to get the plane up in the air, keep it up, turn on the (motorized) camera and land the plane-and act at the same time. 


The only silent movie to win the Best Picture Oscar. 

Winner of the first Academy Award for Best Picture. 

During WWI Jimmy Doolittle stayed at Kelly Field, Texas as a flight instructor. 


Similar items listed--more from the same estate. Guaranteed old & original. 

Authentic signature(s) (NOT printed). 

These have been stored flat by someone who worked in the entertainment field and took great care of them. 


SIZE:

Approx 7" x 10.5" 


CONDITION:

Excellent with hardly any handling wear-no damage. Folded in thirds and kept in envelope. Envelope in very good shape. The postal cancellation goes over that signature just a bit.



Biography 

During World War I, Richard Arlen served in the Royal Canadian Flying Corps as a pilot, but he never saw combat. After the war he drifted round and eventually wound up in Los Angeles, where he got a job as a motorcycle messenger at a film laboratory. When he crashed into the gates of Paramount Pictures and suffered a broken leg, the studio provided prompt medical attention. Impressed by his good looks, executives also gave him a contract after he had recovered. Starting as an extra in 1925, Arlen soon rose to credited roles, but the quality of his work left much to be desired. However, this was the silent era, which was more about looks than substance, and he continued on. 


His big break came when William A. Wellman cast him as a pilot in the silent film Wings (1927) with Charles 'Buddy' Rogers and Clara Bow. The story of fighter aces would win the Oscar for Best Picture and Arlen would continue to play the tough, cynical hero throughout his career. Arlen appeared in three more pictures directed by Wellman, Beggars of Life (1928), Ladies of the Mob (1928) and The Man I Love (1929). In "Wings" he had a scene with a young actor named Gary Cooper. In 1929, he again worked with Cooper in the western The Virginian (1929), only this time Cooper was the star and Arlen was the supporting actor. While Arlen moved easily into sound, his career just bumped along. 


By 1935 he was working in such "B" pictures as Three Live Ghosts (1936). It was in 1935 that he became a freelance actor and his freelance career soon waned. In 1939, he signed with Universal and began working in its action films. In 1941 he moved to the Pine-Thomas unit at Paramount, where he appeared in adventure films. With the war on, most of his earlier films included war scenarios. By the end of the 1940s Arlen was becoming deaf and this seemed to signal the end of his career. However, he had an operation in 1949 that restored his hearing and he went on making a handful of adventures and westerns through the 1950s and working more in the 1960s. He made 15 westerns for producer A.C. Lyles, who worked with the old western stars.

1969 Original Hand-Written Letter with T $39.00

This is a vintage 1860 hand-written letter with signatures of JOSEPH STIRLING COYNE. 

A rare document -- a delightfully written letter, penned on 3 sides of his stationery. 

A striking piece of history for the theatre and playwright enthusiast. 

Written on laid paper with a blind-stamp seen under light. It is IVORY in an embossed box outline. 


Coyne was one of the most prolific British playwrights of the mid-nineteenth century - he wrote more than sixty plays; his twenty-seven farces are surpassed in number only by John Maddison Morton's ninety-one and T. J. Williams's thirty. He was a humorist and satirist and one of the founders of 'Punch', or the London Charivari , the famous illustrated magazine of Victorian humor. 


I have done my best to decipher the writing of his letter.

June 26, 1860 


There is a rumor that some of the collection I am selling belonged to Tyrone Guthrie (who founded the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis) because he acted & directed the Shakespeare Birthday Festival at the Old Vic Theatre in London with Alec Clunes, Rachel Kempson, Basil Coleman, Henry Baynton, Morland Graham, Jill Esmond, Irene & Violet Vanbrugh, Gyles Isham, Stephen Murray, George Hayes, Lawrence Baskomb, Malcolm Keen, Leo Genn, Stuart Burge, Michael Gough, Dorothy Green, Margaretta Scott, Michael Redgrave, Vivienne Bennett, Alec Guiness, Jessica Tandy, Ivy St. Helier, Harcourt Williams, Edith Evans, Ruth Gordon, George Howe, Martita Hunt, Ursula Jeans, Esmond Knight, Laurence Olivier. Some of which I have memorabilia from. 


SIZE:

4" x 6"

6" x 8" when opened. 


CONDITION:

Very good with no tears or holes. Some folded lines that have softened over the years so there is no way to "bend" them back horizontally. I am guessing that it might have been folded into a small envelope. Some extra small off-color dots (like foxing) inside and a small bit of paper/residue on the back where there is no writing. Some discoloration on some of the folds. The date is written in pencil on the first page--probably written at the time it was displayed---it is light. This grouping of memorabilia has been kept flat, in boxes for decades. 


BIO: 

Joseph Stirling Coyne 

(Coyne, J. Stirling (Joseph Stirling), 1803-1868) 

One of the most prolific British playwrights of the mid-nineteenth century, he wrote more than sixty plays; his twenty-seven farces are surpassed in number only by John Maddison Morton's ninety-one and T. J. Williams's thirty. Coyne brought to the stage accomplished comedic interchanges, puns, irony, exaggerated character traits, ludicrous plot situations, and surprising outcomes. His plays reveal a deft ear for dialogue and an ability to create characters suited to the talents of specific actors. 


He was a humorist and satirist in the tradition of Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. As a journalist Coyne contributed humorous pieces to many widely circulated journals and newspapers. Coyne was born in 1803, in Birr, County Offaly, Ireland. His first farce, The Phrenologist, appeared at the Irish Royal Theatre in Dublin in June 1835 and was revived two years later at the abbey theatre. Other plays he wrote were "The Queer Subject," "Everybody's Friend," "Nothing Venture, Nothing Win," "Presented at Court," "The Woman in Red," and "How to Settle Accounts with your Laundress," the last of which has been adapted, under other titles, to the French and German stage. 


Joseph Stirling Coyne's everyday characters and realistic situations and language appealed to working-class theatergoers, and his plays enjoyed long runs during the middle decades of the nineteenth century, when stage. Coyne is remembered for his humor and puns and for his satire of Victorian social and artistic conventions. His work is a significant link between the stylized French and English comedies of the eighteenth century and the witty, intellectual plays of Wilde and George Bernard Shaw. 


He was one of the founders of 'Punch', or the London Charivari , the famous illustrated magazine of humour, along with journalists Henry Mayhew and Mark Lemon in 1841. At first, a strongly radical journal. Undoubtedly the most famous comic periodical in Victorian Britain, Punch first appeared on British newsstands on 17 July 1841. It originated in the attempt by the engraver Ebenezer Landells, the printer Joseph William Last and the journalist Henry Mayhew to make a living from a new cheap illustrated comic periodical. This was a risky move in a period when the genre of comic journalism was troubled. The rapidity with which comic journals rose and fell testified to the fact that by the late 1830s the indecent, slanderous and subversive satire that had proved so popular during the politically turbulent early decades of nineteenth century Britain was failing to amuse the emerging refined and 'middle class' tastes of the chief consumers of comic literature. A more respectable form of comic journalism was needed to cater to this expanding and economically powerful readership.

BIO: 

Beatrice Lillie (1894-1989). Dubbed "the funniest woman in the world," comedienne Beatrice Lillie was born the daughter of a Canadian government official and grew up in Toronto. She sang in a family trio act with her mother Lucy and her piano-playing older sister Muriel. Times were hard and the ambitious mother eventually took the girls to England to test the waters. In 1914 Bea made her solo debut in London's West End and was an immediate hit with audiences. A valuable marquee player as a droll revue and stage artiste, she skillfully interwove sketches, songs and monologues with parody and witty satire. In 1924 she returned to America and was an instant success on Broadway, thus becoming the toast of two continents. For the next decade, she worked with the top stage headliners of her day, including Gertrude Lawrence, Bert Lahr and Jack Haley. Noel Coward and Cole Porter wrote songs and even shows for her. A top radio and comedy recording artist to boot, Bea's success in films was surprisingly limited, although she did achieve some recognition in such productions as Exit Smiling (1926) and Dr. Rhythm (1938). During the Second World War, Bea became a favorite performer with the troops, and in her post-war years toured with her own show "An Evening with Beatrice Lillie." Her rather eccentric persona worked beautifully on Broadway and in 1958 she replaced Rosalind Russell in "Auntie Mame." In 1964, she took on the role of Madame Arcati in the musical version of Blithe Spirit entitled "High Spirits." This was to be her last staged musical. Sadly, her style grew passé and outdated in the Vietnam era, and she quickly faded from view after a movie appearance in Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967). At this point she had already begun to show early signs of Alzheimer's disease, although she managed to publish her biography in 1973. A year later Bea suffered the first of two strokes and lived the next decade and a half in virtual seclusion. She died in 1989 at age 94.

Soraya: Photo postcard of the young Soraya, when she still was an actress.

Princess Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiari (Persian: ثریا اسفندیاری بختیاری) (1932 – 2001) was the second wife and Queen Consort of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the late Shah of Iran.


In 1948, Soraya was introduced to the recently divorced Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi. At this time Soraya had finished high school in Switzerland and was studying the English language in London. They were soon engaged and the Shah gave her a 22.37 carat (4.474 g) diamond engagement ring.


Soraya married the Shah at Golestan Palace in Tehran on 12 February 1951. Though the Shah announced that guests should donate money to a special charity for the Iranian poor, among the wedding gifts was a mink coat and a desk set with black diamonds sent by Joseph Stalin; a Steuben glass Bowl of Legends designed by Sidney Waugh and sent by U.S. President and Mrs. Truman; and silver Georgian candlesticks from King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and the 2,000 guests included Aga Khan III.


The ceremony was decorated with 1.5 tonnes of orchids, tulips, and carnations, sent by plane from the Netherlands, and entertainment included an equestrian circus sent from Rome. The bride wore a silver lamé gown studded with pearls and trimmed with marabou stork feathers, designed for the occasion by Christian Dior. She also wore a full-length female white-mink cape.  Liza Minelli b/w photo with authentic, hand written signature. Size: 9.5 x 6 inches.

8 x 11,8 inches, mounted on cardboard. Cut by hand so the edges are not cut straight, otherwise fine condition.


John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie ( 1917 – 1993) was an American jazz trumpet player, bandleader, singer, and composer dubbed "the sound of surprise". Together with Charlie Parker, he was a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz. He taught and influenced many other musicians, including trumpeters Miles Davis, Fats Navarro, Clifford Brown, Arturo Sandoval, Lee Morgan, Jon Faddis and Chuck Mangione.


In addition to featuring in the epochal moments in bebop, he was instrumental in founding Afro-Cuban jazz, the modern jazz version of what early-jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton referred to as the "Spanish Tinge". Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and gifted improviser, building on the virtuoso style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic complexity previously unknown in jazz. Dizzy's beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks and his light-hearted personality were essential in popularizing bebop.

She received a special Academy Award in February 1935, and film hits such as Curly Top and Heidi followed year after year during the mid to late 1930s.

The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


4,1 x x 5,9 inches. Fine condition (part of personal details at revers have been darkened)


Michael Joseph Jackson (1958 –2009) was an American recording artist, dancer, singer-songwriter, musician, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance, and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene along with his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5, then the Jacksons in 1964, and began his solo career in 1971.


In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, including those of "Beat It", "Billie Jean", and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk, to which he gave the name. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style have influenced numerous hip hop, pop, contemporary R&B, and rock artists.


In March 2010, Sony Music Entertainment signed a $250 million deal with Jackson's estate to retain distribution rights to his recordings until 2017, and to release seven posthumous albums over the decade following his death.  Autographed Buddy Fry 33 1/3 record with cover.

The autograph is from the 1960-70s and is in fine condition.


Certificate of Authenticity included.


Bergman's fresh-scrubbed Nordic beauty set her squarely apart from the stereotypical movie starlet, and quickly both Hollywood executives and audiences became enchanted with her. It was 1942's Casablanca which launched her to superstardom; cast opposite Humphrey Bogart after a series of other actresses rejected the picture, she was positively radiant, her chemistry with Bogart the stuff of pure magic.


The 1945 Spellbound, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, was another massive hit, and a year later they reunited for Notorious.


She then began freelancing, starring as a prostitute in 1948's Arch of Triumph; the public, however, reacted negatively to her decision to play against type, and later that year she was even more saintly than usual as the title heroine in Joan of Arc.


Like so many viewers around the world, Bergman had been highly moved by director Roberto Rossellini's Italian neorealist masterpiece Roma Citta Aperta; announcing her desire to work with him, she accepted the lead in 1950's Stromboli. During production, Bergman and Rossellini fell in love, and she became pregnant with his child; at the time, she was still married to her first husband, Swedish doctor Peter Lindstrom, and soon she was assailed by criticism the world over.  Index Card with signature of Olga Korbut in very good condition.

Sir Thomas John Woodward, known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer-songwriter, particularly noted for his powerful voice and wide vocal range. Since 1965 Jones has sold over 100 million records


In 1967 he performed for the first time in Las Vegas at the Flamingo. In 1968, starting at New York's Copacabana night club, women would swoon and scream, and some would throw their knickers on stage. Soon after, he began to play Las Vegas and began recording less, choosing to concentrate on his lucrative club performances. At Caesars Palace his shows were traditionally a knicker-hurling frenzy of raw sexual tension and good-time entertainment. There, they started throwing hotel room keys. Jones and his idol Elvis Presley, met in 1965 at the Paramount stage, when Elvis was filming Paradise, Hawaiian Style; after that, they became good friends, spending more and more time together in Las Vegas, their friendship enduring until Presley's death in 1977.


In celebration of his 65th birthday on 28 May, 2005, Jones returned to his homeland to perform a spectacular concert in Ynysangharad Park, Pontypridd. This was his first performance in Pontypridd since 1964.  Marcel Marceau: "The world's greatest mime"- hand signed photo from 1984.

4,1 x 5,8 inches, very fine condition.


Brigitte Bardot is a BAFTA Awards-nominated French actress, former fashion model, singer, known nationalist, animal rights activist, and considered the embodiment of the 1950s and 1960s sex kitten.


Her films of the early and mid 1950s were lightweight romantic dramas, some of them historical, in which she was cast as ingénue or siren, often with an element of undress. She played bit parts in three English-language films, the British comedy Doctor at Sea (1955), Helen of Troy (1954), in which she was understudy for the title role but only appears as Helen's handmaid, and Act of Love (1954) with Kirk Douglas.


"She is every man's idea of the girl he'd like to meet in Paris," said the film-critic Ivon Addams in 1955.


Throughout the 1960s she appeared in glossy star vehicles like Viva Maria (1965), dabbled in pop music, and played the role of glamour model and icon. She starred in Jean-Luc Godard's film Contempt (1963). In 1965 she appeared as herself in the Hollywood production Dear Brigitte (1965) starring James Stewart.


In the 1970s after her retirement from the entertainment industry, Bardot established herself as an animal rights activist, which work she continues today.

Size: 5,1 x 7 inches. Very fine condition.


The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


Claudia Cardinale is an Italian actress born in Tunis, Tunisia. The most notable films she has appeared in include 8˝ (1963) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). The majority of Cardinale's films have been either of Italian or French origin.


Throughout the 1960s, she appeared in some of the best Italian and European films including Luchino Visconti's Il Gattopardo (The Leopard, 1963) and Rocco e i suoi fratelli (1960), Philippe de Broca's Cartouche (1963), Federico Fellini's 8˝ (1963), and Sergio Leone's epic Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). Because she lacked fluency in language, her voice—in the early Italian films—was dubbed by someone else. Not until 8˝ was she allowed to dub her own dialogue.


Because Cardinale was not interested in leaving Europe for extended periods of time, she never made a real attempt to break into the American market. The list of her Hollywood films includes The Pink Panther (1963), in which she was dubbed by an American actress; Circus World (1964); Blindfold (1965); and The Professionals (1966), in which she played opposite Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster.  Dean Martin portrait photo: Authentic, hand signed, clear signature and dedication at lower right corner. 8 x 10 inches. Very fine condition.

The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


Dean Martin found phenomenal success in almost every entertainment venue and though he suffered a few down-times during his career, always managed to come out on top. During the '50s, he and partner Jerry Lewis formed one of the most popular comic film duos in filmdom. After splitting with Lewis, he was associated with the Hollywood's ultra-cool Rat Pack and came to be known as the chief deputy to the chairman of the board Frank Sinatra.


Though initially a comic actor, he proved himself a powerful dramatic actor in such dramas as Young Lions (1958), more than holding his own opposite Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift. He was also never above poking sly fun at his image as a smooth womanizer in such outings as the Matt Helm spy spoofs of the '60s. As a singer, Martin was by his own admission, not the greatest baritone on earth, and made no bones about having copied the styles of Bing Crosby and Perry Como.  Faye Dunaway portrait print with authentic, earlier signature.

Shirley Temple Black: 5,8 x 4,2 cardboard, hand signed in 1988.


The Autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


Shirley Temple, or Shirley Jane Temple is a former American film and television actress, auto biographer, and public servant.


She began her screen career in 1932 at the age of three, and, in 1934, skyrocketed to superstardom in Bright Eyes, a feature film designed specifically for her talents. She received a special Academy Award in February 1935, and blockbusting super hits such as Curly Top and Heidi followed year after year during the mid to late 1930s.


Licensed merchandise that capitalized on her wholesome image included dolls, dishes, and clothing. Temple's box office popularity waned as she reached adolescence and she left the film industry at the age of twelve to attend high school. She appeared in a few films of varying quality in her mid to late teens, and retired completely from the silver screen in 1950 at the age of twenty-one. She was the top box-office draw four years in a row (1935–1938) in a Motion Picture Herald poll.  This unused package of Lorillard's Beech-Nut chewing tobacco has a John Wayne business card stapled to the top with the autograph "Good Luck John Wayne". The foil tobacco pouch is still mostly covered in the original cellophane wrapper with a coupon offer insert for stainless flatware. The insert has a 5-digit zip code, dating it to post-1963. 


The autograph is on one side of a business type card with the name JOHN WAYNE (nothing else) appearing in all caps on the reverse side. The autograph appears to me to be an actual signature but I do not know for certain that it was not pre-printed. According to my research, John Wayne carried cards like this in his pocket. When fans approached him for an autograph and didn't have their own paper, he'd sign one of his own cards. I also read that some of these cards were pre-printed with Good Luck and his signature. The signature does not look the same as the pre-printed ones I found on the internet nor does it say "Batjac Productions" as the pre-printed cards I have seen do. It has the same handwriting characteristics but appears to be more of a hurried scrawl than the neatly written pre-printed autographs I've looked at. I've provided a large closeup photo of the signature so you can compare it for yourself. 


This Beech-Nut tobacco pouch was given to my father by my stepmother's nephew, Ricky Valdez, with the autograph attached of course. Unfortunately Mr.Valdez is now deceased, but he told my Dad that the pouch belonged to his grandfather. When the grandfather passed away, his grandmother let Ricky pick a memento of his Grandpa from a trunk of his belongings, and this is what he chose. I do not know the grandfather's name, only that he lived most of his life in Arizona This is all the provenance on this item I have. 


Though there was some speculation by Ricky about how the tobacco came into his grandfather's possession, I haven't been able to confirm his theories. John Wayne did chew tobacco after part of his lung was removed in 1964, and he also chewed in some of his movies. This may have been part of a celebrity promotion by Beech Nut. 


Condition: The cellophane covering the pouch is very brittle and has disintegrated along one side. The package has never been opened but tiny bits of the tobacco have leaked out of the corners, although not much as the pack is still completely full. The autographed card is yellowed and worn. It has not been restapled, but the card has been lifted up to see the back many times, causing the left staple hole to be enlarged. I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

Her first major film was Jamaica Inn by Alfred Hitchcock. Laughton was so pleased with O'Hara's performance that he cast her in the role of Esmeralda opposite him in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. After the successful completion of Hunchback, World War II began and after a few low budget films she was rescued by director John Ford, who cast her as Angharad in How Green Was My Valley.

Lauren Bacall, Betty Joan Perske, born: 1924 in New York City Bacall began her career as a model, gracing the cover of Harper's Bazaar at age 19, before moving on to acting. She landed a starring role in To Have and Have Not (1944) opposite Humphrey Bogart. The pair married a year later, and went on to make five films (and two children) together, including The Big Sleep (1946) and Key Largo (1948). Her movie career cooled somewhat in the '60s and '70s, and she turned to Broadway, winning Tony Awards for her roles in Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). She was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Barbra Streisand's mother in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), and most recently appeared with Nicole Kidman in two films: Dogville (2003) and Birth (2004). (She was also married to actor Jason Robards (1961–69), and is the mother of actor Sam Robards.


For her screen debut, Hawks cast Bacall opposite Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not (1944). Being sexy and alluring, Bacall earned the nickname The Look.. Bacall found herself lauded as the most sensational newcomer of 1944. She also found herself in love with Humphrey Bogart, whom she subsequently married. Bacall's had a disappointing solo turn in Confidential Agent (1945 and before long she was turning in first-rate performances in such films as Young Man with a Horn (1950) and How to Marry a Millionaire (1953).


Bogart's death in 1957 after a long and painful bout with cancer left Bacall personally devastated, though in the tradition of her show-must-go-on husband, she continued to perform to the best of her ability in films such as Designing Woman (1957) and The Gift of Love (1958). In the late '60s, after Bacall's second marriage to another hardcase actor, Jason Robards, Jr., she received only a handful of negligible film roles and all but dropped out of moviemaking. In 1970, Bacall made a triumphant comeback in the stage production Applause, a musical adaptation of All About Eve in which she played grand dame Margo Channing, a role originally played by Bette Davis in the film version.  Nate Nelson and Herb Reed from the legendary The Platters autograph on a sheet ( Hotel Tourotel notepaper ).

The Platters' unique vocal style had touched a nerve in the music-buying public, and a string of hit singles followed, including two more Top 100 number one hits, one Hot 100 number one hit, and more modest hits such as "I'm Sorry" and "He's Mine" in 1957, "Enchanted" in 1959, and "The Magic Touch" in 1956.  Leslie Caron b/w portrait photo, hand signed by Leslie Caron.

Leslie Caron was discovered by Gene Kelly, who cast her as the ingénue in his 1951 film An American in Paris. This led to a long-term MGM contract and a string of films in which Caron's dancing and singing skills were showcased to the utmost: Lili (1953), The Glass Slipper (1954), Gaby (1956), and Gigi (1958). During this period, she was loaned out to co-star with Fred Astaire in 20th Century-Fox's Daddy Long Legs (1955), and was seen on the Paris stage in Jean Renoir's Ornet.


As musicals slowly went out of fashion, Caron sought to alter her screen image, successfully doing so with her portrayal of a pregnant, unmarried woman awaiting an abortion in The L-Shaped Room (1962), a performance that won her the British Film Academy award (she had previously been nominated for a BFA, and an Oscar, for Lili).


Her later film assignments included Father Goose (1965), in which she received an image-shattering slap in the face from Cary Grant; Ken Russell's Valentino (1977), in the role of silent-screen legend Alla Nazimova; and Louis Malle's Damage (1992). The first of Caron's three husbands was George Hormel, of the famous American meat-packing family. Her second marriage was to British director Peter Hall, and husband number three was producer Michael Laughlin, whom she wed in 1969.


Among the many awards and honors bestowed upon Leslie Caron was the title of Jury President at the 1989 Berlin Film Festival.

During the last six decades he has charted more than 100 hit singles and holds the record (along with Elvis Presley) as the only act to make the UK singles charts in all its active decades (1950s–2000s).  Aslan, Raoul: ( Actor, director, b. 1886 Saloniki, d. 18.6.1958 Litzlberg / Attersee / Austria). Authentic autograph on a studio photo of the young Aslan ( Baruch, Pot. Atelier Berlin ) .


The autograph comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.


Aslan was of Armenian origin ( Osmanian Empire ) who came from Greece to Austria. His family was extremely wealthy and he received profound education in Turkey and Greece.


He made his stage debut in Germany in 1906 continued with his studies and had first great successes in Stuttgart in 1911.


His breakthrough came in 1917 when he joined the "Deutsche Volkstheater" in Vienna and was active at the Vienna Burgtheater from 1920-1958, where he mainly played classical heroes and complex characters such as Hamlet, Mephisto, Marquis Posa, and Nathan. Aslan was the director of the Vienna Burgtheater from 1945-1948. In 1929 he was the first actor to be awarded the title "Kammerschauspieler".


Raoul Aslan made his film debut in 1918. After some silent movies like "Das andere Ich" (1918) and "Die Venus" (1922) more popular productions followed, like: "Yorck" (1931), "Der weisse Dämon" (1932), Leise flehen meine Lieder (1933) …….. "Matthäus-Passion" (1949), "Mozart" (1955) and "Wilhelm Tell" (1956).  Marcel Prawy: Reply card, filled and signed by Marcel Prawy in 1974 plus a telegram, sent by Prawy in 1968.


On the reply card he confirms the attending of an event. In the telegram he writes that he can not attend a party since he is busy with TV the whole Saturday and Sunday.


Marcel Horace Frydmann, Ritter von Prawy (1911 - 2003) was an Austrian dramatic adviser, opera connoisseur and opera critic.


Prawy was born into a Jewish Austro-Hungarian noble family. He studied law, but his life belonged to the opera. As secretary of the tenor Jan Kiepura, he emigrated to the USA when persecution of the Austrian Jews became unbearable in the late 1930s. With the help of his confidante Mártha Eggerth he became acquainted with American musicals and music in general.


After the end of the Second World War, Prawy returned to Vienna and brought with him the musical Kiss Me, Kate. It was received by the Viennese with great reservation as they feared the arrival of the American-style musical would spell the end of the traditional Viennese operetta. Nonetheless, Prawy succeeded and was considered henceforth as the one who made German language musicals acceptable and popular.


Marcel Prawy maintained close friendships with many prominent singers, composers and musicians, such as Leonard Bernstein and Robert Stolz. He was awarded numerous awards and honours by the nation and internationally, including becoming honorary citizen of Vienna and Miami. Hardly anyone succeeded in picturing opera to his audience as impressively as he did. And thus Prawy became an institution of the Viennese opera as the National Guide to Opera.  Olivia de Havilland autograph and dedication on a b/w portrait photo.

During the 1950s to 1970s when Elvis and the Beatles were at the height of popularity, Liberace was the highest paid entertainer in the world!  He was known for his trademark candelabra, extravagant costumes and rings on all fingers….he was funny, showy and sentimental all at the same time. 

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend one of his shows in 1981. Liberace always said "I don’t give concerts, I put on a show". I loved every minute of it and even was able to meet with him backstage while he autographed my Showstoppers LP record album.
