Cat. #0014223042: JUDY GARLAND

Rare vintage inscribed black fountain pen signature on a playbill for musical performance at Clowes Memorial Hall in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1967, acquired in-person following the show, framed and matted up to show only the writing with a 10x8-inch color photo from The Wizard of Oz (1939) to an overall size of 21.5 x 17.5 x 1.5 inches. In good condition, with some wear to the wood of the frame. The playbill has not been examined outside of the matte. A Xeorox if it is fixed to the verso of the piece. Sensational, if personally troubled singer, dancer and actress Judy Garland was nominated for two Oscars, for A Star Is Born (1954) and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), and was unforgettable in other classic films like The Wizard of Oz (1939), Strike Up the Band (1940), For Me and My Gal (1942), Girl Crazy (1943), Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), The Clock (1945), Till the Clouds Roll By (1946), Easter Parade (1948), and In the Good Old Summertime (1948). She died of an accidental barbiturate overdose at the age of 47 and her autograph is both highly scarce and heavily sought by fans.
