An Original Autographed Vintage 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" [8 x 13 cm] Fan Photo (Learn More) Joan Fontaine was an actress from the 1930s to the 1990s. One would have thought that Joan Fontaine, being the talented and beautiful sister of established star Olivia De Havilland, would have quickly achieved fame herself. However, she came to Hollywood in 1934, and only appeared in one movie in 1935. It was two years later, after she changed her name to Joan Fontaine, that she started appearing in lots of movies, but it was not until 1940's "Rebecca" (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and 1941's "Suspicion" (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) that she became a major star! As noted above, she was the sister of Olivia De Havilland, and they had a decades-long feud (sadly, there is no longer any hope of a reconciliation, because Ms. Fontaine passed away in 2013 at the age of 96). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Joan Fontaine (she signed it above the facsimile signature)! Note that this still also has a FACSIMILE autograph that is within the printing of the still (the still has NOT been personally autographed twice). Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1960s on. During that time, he would regularly attend collectibles shows as a dealer, and while he was at those shows, he would sometimes purchase autographed movie items from other exhibitors at those shows. Many years ago, he purchased a collection of 26 autographed fan photos that someone had assembled, but he did not receive a certificate of authenticity with them. Since our consignor has now passed away, we have no further information about how the autographs were acquired, but we would imagine they were acquired by a fan who either met the celebrities in person or mailed them the photos. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
