An Autographed Canceled Check (measures 2 3/4" x 6 1/4") (Learn More)

Theda Bara (born Theodosia Goodman, but she was given the much more exotic stage name of Theda Bara, which is an anagram of "Arab Death") was the leading sex star in the mid 1910s. Unfortunately, her "fall" was as quick as her "rise", and by the early 1920s, her career was pretty much over (although old friend Hal Roach gave her some parts in his comedies in the early 1920s). But in her time, she was as great a sex symbol as there ever was! Some of her film roles include: Cleopatra, A Fool There Was, and Salome. She died in 1955 at age 69.
Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Theda Bara! Note that the check is blank on the back, which might seem odd, but it is quite possible that the recipient kept it as a souvenir, likely thinking it was worth more than $5 to her to have Miss Bara's autograph!

Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s 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, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic!

Condition: good to very good. There are many creases around the edges but they don't affect the autograph (see our image).
