Auction History Result 2a447 STEPIN FETCHIT signed postcard '61 full-length image performing by piano! Date Sold 6/19/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Postcard (measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2") (Learn More) Stepin Fetchit (born Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry) was a black African American actor from the 1920s to the 1970s. Because of the prejudices of the time, he was forced to primarily take stereotyped roles, and act in ways that reinforced unfortunate black stereotypes, and his name has become synonymous with roles of this nature. In 1929, he scandalized some people when he not only married a 17 year old high school girl, but she was white, to boot! Some of his movies include: The Prodigal, Carolina, Harlem Follies of 1949, Zenobia, and Steamboat Round the Bend. He had a stage act in the very early 1960s called "Stepin Fetchit in Person", where he performed "The Harlem Carioca", and during that time, he became good friends with Muhammad Ali, and spent time at his training camps! He passed away in 1985 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this postcard (which was an advertisement for his stage show "Stepin Fetchit in Person") has been personally autographed (signed) by Stepin Fetchit! Note that our consignor long ago inherited an autograph collection from his father, who had obtained them in person many decades ago. After he inherited the collection, our consignor purchased a few more autographs, and then stored away the entire collection, and he has only now decided to auction the items. We feel it is extremely likely that the autographs are authentic, especially because they were obtained many years ago, before the autograph hobby became commercialized. Condition: good to very good. The postcard was attached to an album with two pieces of tape on the reverse, and they caused surface paper loss, affecting the lyrics of the song at left. The side with the autograph has a smudge in the autograph and a couple of dot stains. Learn More about condition grades
