Here is a very rare very early vintage original large (4 1/4" by 5 7/8") autographed page of the great character actress Una O'Connor (1880-1959), from 1936, the year after she starred in the horror classic The Bride of Frankenstein. On same page is a rare very early autograph of actress Alice Joyce (1890-1955). The back is clean/blank. With great provenance; still in the 1936 autograph book, belonging to a young girl who stopped in Hollywood while traveling around the world (page will be removed from book after purchase). Delightful character actress who held her own against such acting heavyweights as Charles Laughton, Boris Karloff, Tyrone Power, Barbara Stanwyck, and Sydney Greenstreet. Often cast by studio heads as comic relief thanks to her thick Irish accent and rubber-faced expressions, most notably in Universal's horror classics, The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and The Invisible Man (1933). Her final role was as the devoted housekeeper in Billy Wilder's Witness for the Prosecution (1957), a role she originated on stage. Her hilarious testimony during the trial is one of the film's highlights. Having worked as a telephone operator at age 13 and a fashion model afterwards, Alice Joyce joined the Kalem film company at 20, making her debut in The Deacon's Daughter (1910), and achieved popularity as a charming, proper leading lady in many shorts. After Vitagraph bought out Kalem, Joyce began appearing in the company's features, and her career soared. She was so popular as an ingénue that she was still playing those parts into her late 20s, but eventually she switched to older, more mature roles. She played Clara Bow's mother in Bow's wildly popular film Dancing Mothers (1926). After retiring from the screen, she married director Clarence Brown. Very rare.

Will ship worldwide. I always combine sipping on multiple orders.
