Great Character Actress ALISON SKIPWORTH Scarce Autograph - W.C. FIELDS Co-Star

Description

This auction is brought to you by Classic Entertainment Autographs, one of the industry's best-known and most trusted sources for authentic signed material in the field of vintage entertainment! Up for grabs is the following item:
Scarce vintage inscribed black fountain pen signature on a 3x5-inch tan card, acquired in-person by a busy New York City-based autograph hound in the 1930s. In good condition. Formidable British comic actress Alison Skipworth began her career-- believe it or not!-- as a classically beautiful stage actress. As the years went on and her looks withered, she entered films as a character actress, exuding aristocratic hauteur from every pore. She was the ideal foil for Mae West in Night After Night (1932), and W.C. Fields in If I Had a Million (1932) and Tillie and Gus (1933). She had leading assignments as the title character in Madame Racketeer (1932), and opposite Polly Moran in the Republic programmers in Two Wise Maids (1937) and Ladies in Distress (1938). Leaving films in 1938, Skipworth returned to the stage, retiring for good in 1942. She died ten years later at the age of 88.
The high bidder is to pay .75 postage and handling within the United States or .75 overseas. New York residents must add sales tax. Thanks for looking!
