Autograph Note Signed twice: "Dear Mr. Wood/I wish you

McQueen", 5½x3 card. Thelma McQueen (1911-1995) was only 13 when she joined
a theater group in Harlem. She was nicknamed "Butterfly" after dancing in the
butterfly ballet in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
McQueen debuted on Broadway in Brown Sugar (1937) and two years later
played her first and most memorable movie role, that of Prissy, the young slave,
in Gone With the Wind. After being typecast as a sobbing maid in
several films of the 1940s, she grew tired of the image and retired from films
in 1947. McQueen continued intermittent theatrical engagements and returned to
the screen in the early 1970s (Amazing Grace, 1974; The Mosquito
Coast, 1986). In 1975, at the age of 64, she received a Bachelor's
Degree in political science from the City College of New York. Lightly
soiled. Otherwise, fine condition.
