Date Sold 10/25/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/4" [14 x 21 cm]; 180 pages) (Learn More) Corinne Griffith was a major leading actress from the 1910s to the 1960s. She was a very intelligent woman who invested heavily in real estate at just the right time, and when she passed away in 1979 at the age of 84, she was one of the wealthiest women in the world, with a fortune estimated at $150 million! Some of her movies include: The Garden of Eden, The Divine Lady (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Paradise Alley. In addition to acting, she wrote several books, most notably "Papa's Delicate Condition" in 1952, which was about her father, a Methodist minister. In 1963, she sold the rights to the movie version of the book, and she wanted Fred Astaire to play her father, but the studio chose Jackie Gleason, and she greatly disliked the movie! Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Corinne Griffith (she gave it as a gift to Warner Bros. publicist Hy Hollinger, and she inscribed it to him on the first interior page). Also note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1970s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is extremely likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity.
