BLANCHE SWEET. Commemorative Sheet signed: "Blanche Sweet", 1p, 8¼x11. B/w commemorative sheet depicting the cover of The Man Who Invented Hollywood, The Autobiography of D.W. Griffith, 10-cent Griffith stamp affixed, postmarked Beverly Hills, CA, May 27, 1975, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. Sweet began her acting career with D.W. Griffith at Biograph in 1909 (at the age of 14, she was two years younger than Mary Pickford), and she appeared in a long list of silent films before leaving the legendary producer in 1914. Blanche Sweet (1985-1986), born Sarah Blanche Sweet, made her first appearance on stage when she was 18 months old, was a dancer by the age of four and began her acting career at the age of 14 with D.W. Griffith at Biograph. Her early films with the studio included The Lonedale Operator (1911) and Judith of Bethulia (1914), before she left Biograph in 1914 to work with Cecil B. DeMille (The Warrens of Virginia, 1915). Best known for the title role in the 1923 film, Anna Christie, Sweet's other film credits include Tess of the D'Ubervilles (1924, directed by her then-husband, Marshall Neilan). Sweet, who made a long list of silent films, appeared in only three "talkies", including Girl in Hollywood (1930) before retiring from films at the age of 34. She returned to the stage, appearing in plays on Broadway and with touring companies. Sweet also worked in radio during the 1930s. After the death of her second (1936-1958) husband, stage co-star Raymond Hackett, Sweet returned to the screen for a final time in the 1959 film, The Five Pennies. Slightly creased. Three file holes at left margin. Fine condition.
