An Autographed Letter (measures 4" x 6" [10 x 15 cm]) (Learn More) Ruth Gordon was born in 1896. What a full life she had! She started as a stage actress at the age of 19, and continued there for 24 years. In 1940 she had a memorable movie role (her first real one, at the age of 44) in Abe Lincoln of Illinois as Mary Todd Lincoln, and she appeared in a handful of other movies, and then stopped making movies again, to return to stage acting also becoming a playwright! In 1942 she married 16 years younger screenwriter Garson Kanin, and the two began writing screenplays together, most notably two for Tracy and Hepburn (Pat and Mike and Adam's Rib). After decades away from the screen, she made some TV appearances, and then (in her 70s) she had memorable roles which included: Inside Daisy Clover (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Rosemary's Baby (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Harold and Maude (the cult classic, where she found true love with "teenager" Bud Cort!), and Where's Poppa? She passed away in 1985 at the age of 88. Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Ruth Gordon! Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1970s on. He purchased the signed photos that were in the inventory of a long running Hollywood memorabilia store, and he has consigned a large number of them to us, and we are auctioning them here, including this item. The store would get items signed when celebrities visited them, and they also bought collections of signed items, but of course only when they were convinced that they were genuine! 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. 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. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
