An Autographed Paper (measures 2 1/4" x 4 1/2") (Learn More) Edna May Oliver was a stage and movie actress from the 1910s to the 1940s. She was born in 1883 to an important Massachusetts family, the Nutters, and she was a direct descendant of the second and sixth presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams. But she loved performing, and at 14, she quit school to become an actress! She had great success on Broadway in the 1910s and 1920s, and she had a great deal of success in movies in the 1930s, in comedies, mysteries, and dramas. Sadly, she became ill in 1942, and although she seemed to recover, she then passed away in her sleep, and she was only 59 years old, and it was on her birthday. Some of her movies include: Little Women, Alice in Wonderland, Drums Along The Mohawk (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and Pride and Prejudice Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Edna May Oliver! Note that this signature was in an autograph album, and it was cut out of the album and was glued to a heavy board and then scotch taped to another page (it has since been removed from that page). About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 33 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer has consigned these autographed items to us. So all of these 34 autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 34 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: good. Note that this signature was in an autograph album, and it was cut out of the album and was glued to a heavy board and then scotch taped to another page (it has since been removed from that page). There is a piece of tape in the center of the top of the paper. Learn More about condition grades
