Rather uncommon vintage bold black fountain pen signature on a roughly 4x5-inch light green autograph album page, acquired in-person in 1941, at the time of her appearance in the play "Ah, Wilderness." In good condition, with a few minor surface crinkles. Veteran character actress Ann Shoemaker played bristly dowagers and no-nonsense, but loving matrons in scores of classic films, including Alice Adams (1935), Stella Dallas (1937), Babes in Arms (1939), The Farmer's Daughter (1940), Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944), House by the River (1950), Sunrise at Campobello (1960), and The Fortune Cookie (1966).
