Auction History Result 4t484 HATTIE MCDANIEL signed 8x10.25 still 1942 seated portrait of the African American star! Date Sold 3/6/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Hattie McDaniel was an actress from the 1930s to the 1950s. She was one of the first black African American performers to achieve success in mainstream Hollywood movies. She is best remembered for her role as "Mammy" in "Gone with the Wind", and she appeared in 95 movies between 1932 and 1949, and she had her own TV show, "Beulah", in the 1950s. She was even the inspiration for the "Mammy Two Shoes" character in the Tom & Jerry cartoons! But because she almost exclusively played stereotyped roles throughout her career, her work is little seen today (except of course for "Gone with the Wind"). That is especially unfortunate, because she had an even more significant career than most people realize. She is believed to be the first black woman to sing on the radio (in 1915), and she was a major vaudeville and cabaret singing star in the 1910s and 1920s! Perhaps a movie can be made about her remarkable career. McDaniel passed away in 1952 at the age of 59. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Hattie McDaniel! Our consignor is a longtime dealer who acquired this signed item among many other purchases in his inventory, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Condition: good. There is ink transfer in the right of the still, caused by something that was laying on top of it. There are also some creases and tiny tears in the borders. Fortunately, none of this has much effect at all on the image of Miss McDaniel or the inscription and signature (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
