Rare and uncommonly early vintage blue ballpoint pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan album page, acquired in-person around the time of her starring role in Devil Girl from Mars (1954). In good condition. Little Shop of Horrors (1960) star Jonathan Haze signs on the verso. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the autograph is not included with the signed piece. Gaunt, imperious English stage and film actress Patricia Laffan gained a sort of immortality for her portrayal of the fierce, leather-clad alien invader Nyah in the sci-fi cult classic Devil Girl from Mars (1954). She was also memorable in The Adventuress (1946) and Quo Vadis (1951), before being almost entirely relegated to character work on television.
