On a page with a photocopied drawing of herself as Prissy from Gone With the Wind (1939), six photocopied photos of herself in various screen roles, and an originally handwritten message in mock slave dialect: "Ol' Massa's* in the White House! What he gwine do? Why, he gwine tek care of me and you! *Jimmy Carter". 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.

In 1975 at the age of 64, she received a bachelor's degree in political science from the City College of New York. Slightly creased at upper margin. Vertical fold in center touches "n" in signature.
