Uncommonly early inscribed fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan autograph album page, acquired in-person in 1932, the year she appeared in the Joan Crawford classic Rain. In good condition for its age. Beginning with the "drag" stage role of Little Lord Fauntleroy at the age of 7, she proved an unsung master of self-transformation, convincingly portraying elderly mothers, grandmothers and society dowagers in her twenties and thirties. Her wonderful body of work included Street Scene (1931); Rain (1932); The Gorgeous Hussy (1936); the horror flick The Invisible Ray (1936) with Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi; the tearjerkers Make Way for Tomorrow (1937), Of Human Hearts (1938), On Borrowed Time (1938), and Penny Serenade (1941); Vivacious Lady (1938), Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) and It's a Wonderful Life (1946) as Jimmy Stewart's mother; Our Town (1939); and The Snake Pit (1948).
