Vintage mattable blue ballpoint pen signature on a 3.5 x 5-inch light orange autograph album page, acquired in-person in the late 1940s. In good condition, with minor surface crinkling. Elegant, aristocratic British leading lady Diana Wynyard was an established stage star at the time of her Hollywood debut in the Barrymores' Rasputin and the Empress in 1932.  She went on to an Oscar-nominated turn in Cavalcade (1932), a film which locked her into Greer Garson-type roles for the rest of her career, and was marvelous in the 1940 version of Gaslight and Island in the Sun (1957).
