A collection of 23 signatures from stars of the 20th century stage and screen. Includes famed London Shakespeare actress, Ellen Terry (1847-1928); vaudeville and film actor, John Garrick (1902-1966); the first Chinese-American movie star Anna May Wong (1935-1905); Ralph Richardson (1902-1983), an actor who dominated the British stage and silver screen during his career; American actress, writer, and monologist Helen Howe (1905-1975); Hilda Spong (1875-1955), an English stage actress and film star who toured around Europe, Australia, and America; American actress Jeanette MacDonald (1903-1965), famous for her musical films with Maurice Chevalier and Nelson Eddy; film, television, and Broadway star Muriel Kirkland (1901-1907); Ernest Torrence (1878-1933), often the villain, acted alongside some of the greatest actors of all time such as: Gary Cooper, Theda Bara, and Colleen Moore; popular actor Van Johnson (1916-2008) who frequently starred as a soldier or pilot with "boy next door wholesomeness;" stage actress Natalie Hall; actress Florence Day; Norwegian-born actress, Mary Sunde (1908-1994); Minna Gombell (1892-1973), an actress for the Fox Film Corporation and acting coach; Paul Kelly (1899-1956), an actor whose personal life was just as tumultuous as some of the characters he played. He was convicted of manslaughter after bashing in the head of his wife's lover, causing it to hemorrhage. He served a year and a month in San Quentin prison, but continued to act afterwards. Also included are signatures from: popular Western and film nior actor, Alan Ladd (1913-1964); and John Hodiak (1914-1955). Despite being born in the United States, Hodiak had a heavy eastern European accent which hurt his early career. He stared in a few minor rolls until Alfred Hitchcock cast him in Lifeboat (1944). His preformance catapulted his carreer until it went sour in 1949. He turned to Broadway and regained stardom with his part in The Caine Mutiny. Before he could make a serious return to the screen, he died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 44. More signatures include: the "Turkish delight," Austrian-born actor, Turhan Bey (1922-2012); signer, stage, and screen actor, Oscar Shaw (1887-1967); actor, Ezekiel Leavitt; South-African born actor, Louis Hayward (1909-1985); stage actress, Ada Rehan (1859-1916); stage and film actress, Edith Barrett (1907-1977); and more. Condition: Most signatures are clear and dark, the paper has toning. Few have adhesive left over from past scrapbooks, but all signatures are loose.
