An Autographed 7" x 9" Guestbook Page (Learn More) Clifton Webb guestbook page. Clifton Webb was one of Hollywood's most "confirmed bachelors" (he never married, and he lived with his mother until her passing, when he was quite old). That didn't stop him from throwing great parties! On February 21, 1937, he had a party where singer Grace Moore was the guest of honor, and he had a "guestbook" that the guests signed, and this page says "January 3rd 1938" at the top, and under it are signatures of 26 attendees, including Beatrice Lillie, Richard Rodgers (the famous composer), Richard Barthelmess, Herbert Bayard Swope Jr., and others that we can't quickly identify (but likely you can with a little studying!). After Mr. Webb's passing, this page was removed from his guestbook and it was auctioned in 2007, and it comes with the letter of authenticity that describes this page and guarantees it is authentic by PSA/DNA. Of course, Clifton Webb was a well known character actor who achieved stardom at an advanced age! He was born in 1889, and he was primarily a stage actor, appearing in a small number of movies, starting in silents. In 1944, at the age of 55 he achieved stardom with his role as Waldo Lydecker in Laura. He parlayed that fame into starring roles in movies, most notably in the series of Mr. Belvedere movies, where he was a male nanny. He was gay, but that remained a "secret" throughout his life, and he lived with, and was devoted to, his beloved mother throughout most of his adult life, and they were inseparable. When she died in 1960, he went into a major decline, both mentally and physically, and he made only one more movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
