Exceptionally rare vintage red ballpoint pen signature clipped from a form, dating to the late 1950s, affixed to a 3x5-inch off-white card. In good condition, with gentle toning, and just the second example we have ever encountered. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the autograph is not included. Belle Barth, one of the raunchiest and sexually liberated comediennes of her era, is remembered as a pioneer of her field, having influenced entertainers like Joan Rivers, Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, and LaWanda Page.
