Uncommon black fountain pen signature on a 2x4-inch portion of a grey linen autograph album page, acquired in-person in the 1930s and recently encased in hard plastic by the third-party authentication service P.S.A./D.N.A., from which it can be removed, if one so desires. In good condition. Dubbed The First Lady of M.G.M., charming Norma Shearer is remembered for her portrayals of spunky, sexually liberated types. She snagged an Oscar for 1930's The Divorcee and was nominated five other times, for Their Own Desire (1929), A Free Soul (1931), The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934), Romeo and Juliet (1936), and Marie Antoinette (1938).
