Quite scarce vintage handwritten, signed note in black ink on a roughly 3x5-inch off-white card, sent to a fan in the 1980s. In good condition, with a few postal cancellation marks and some light edge wear. Beautiful Amanda Duff made only 8 films between 1938 and 1941 before vanishing from the screen, remembered by horror buffs for her portrayal of Anne Blair, opposite Boris Karloff as Dr. Julian Blair, in the horror flick The Devil Commands (1941). She was elsewhere noteworthy in Just Around the Corner (1938), Mr. Moto in Danger Island (1939), The Escape (1939), and City of Chance (1940). This is just the fourth example of her autograph we have seen in over 35 years! The person who acquired this piece corresponded with her, long into her retirement, which lasted 65 years!
