CELESTE HOLM
The Academy Award winner signs a First Day Cover honoring Valley
Forge Christmas.
First Day Cover signed: "Celeste Holm", 6½x3½. FDC honoring
Valley Forge Christmas, 13-cent stamp affixed, postmarked Valley Forge,
Pennsylvania, October 21, 1977, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE. In 1943, Rodgers and
Hammerstein cast Celeste Holm (1917-2012) as soubrette Ado Annie in
Oklahoma!; both the production itself and Annie's show-stopping song "I
Cain't Say No" affirmed Holm's future stardom. She was cast by her studio, 20th
Century-Fox, in the role of the love-starved fashion editor in the prestige
feature Gentlemen's Agreement (1947), for which she won an Academy
Award. The important role of Bette Davis' understanding friend in another
Oscar-winner, All About Eve (1950), has immortalized Holm amongst the
film cultists. Always choosy about her roles, she remained active in the 1980s
and 1990s whenever a good part struck her fancy. Slightly bent at corners and
slightly worn at edges. Fine condition.
