Date Sold 6/19/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Book Page (measures 8 1/4" x 11") (Learn More) Frances Gifford was an actress from the 1930s to the 1950s. Some of her movies include: Thrill of a Romance, Jungle Girl, and Tarzan Triumphs with Johnny Weissmuller. She suffered severe head injuries in a 1947 car accident which greatly affected her career. As a result of her injuries, her physical and mental health declined and she was eventually admitted to a California mental hospital in 1958. After 20 years, she recovered and spent her final years in quiet obscurity, passing away in 1994 at the age of 73. Important Added Info: Note that this item (which is a page from the book "Cliffhanger" by Alan G. Barbour) has been personally autographed (signed) by Frances Gifford (she signed it TWICE, likely because she wrote the inscription in a dark area, and it did not stand out well, so she wrote the second signature in a light area; see our image). Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer, but he does not have a "certificate of authenticity". We have provided an image of each side of the book page.
UPDATED 06/15/2016: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that Emil Van Horn (the man in the ape costume) made a career of portraying apes in films, most notably in the 1943 Bela Lugosi movie "The Ape Man". Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
