Highly rare vintage inscribed black fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan autograph album page, acquired in-person in the year of Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, 1943, and decorated with a small magazine image of the star. In fine condition for its age, with a series of gentle horizontal folds, which appear to have been made when a previous collector matted the page with a photograph. Not bad, but priced accordingly. Russian acting coach and character actress Maria Ouspenskaya is best remembered for her portrayal of Maleva the gypsy in the 1941 horror classic The Wolf Man, a role she reprised in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man in 1943.
