BUTTERFLY MCQUEEN
Butterfly McQueen signs a photocopy of a scene from her movie Duel
in the Sun with an autograph sentiment.
Autograph Sentiment signed on verso: "Best Wishes to you also,/B.
Mc Q". B/w, 8½x11. Scene from Duel in the Sun. 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. Fold creases through signature. Otherwise, fine
condition.
