Here is an extremely rare very early vintage original large autographed page of actress Billie/Billy Seward (1912-1982) from her prime in the 1930s, from 1936, direct from the autograph book of a young girl who stopped in Hollywood while traveling around the world with her family. The only one I have come across. Last image pulled from online. Born Rita Ann Seward Billie in 1912 in Philadelphia, Billie Seward was known for Air Hawks (1935), Men of the Hour (1935) and One Crowded Night (1940). Supporting actress and occasional B-movie leading lady, in films with Columbia from 1934-35. Returned after a four-year absence in 1939 but was henceforth relegated to bit parts and cameos. Seward performed with Lou Holtz at The Beverly Wilshire Hotel Gold Room in December 1933. She obtained a contract with Columbia Pictures following a three-month stay in Hollywood. Seward starred with Richard Cromwell in the 1934 Columbia production of Among the Missing. Wallace Ford joined Seward and Cromwell in Hot News, which was eventually titled Men of the Hour (1935). She was in three western films written by Ford Beebe in 1935. The titles are Law Beyond the Range, The Revenge Rider, and Justice of the Range. Colonel Tim McCoy, Ward Bond, and Ed LeSaint were among her fellow actors. In One Crowded Night (1940) Seward plays Gladys. This RKO film is critiqued by Bosley Crowther who called it "a routine multi-plot melodrama, Grand Hotel reduced to a tourist camp." In 1934 Seward was linked romantically to actor Lyle Talbot. She married William Wilkerson, owner of the Trocadero (Los Angeles) and Ciro's, on September 30, 1935. Wilkerson was also the owner and publisher of The Hollywood Reporter. The couple separated in February 1937 but reconciled. Seward renewed a divorce suit against Wilkerson in March 1938, using her legal name Rita Ann Wilkerson. Below is a record from a 1934 movie distributor catalogue showing her alternate name spelling "Billy". She died on March 20, 1982 in Los Angeles, California, USA. Extremely rare.
