CLAUDETTE COLBERT
The Academy Award winning actress signs a 5x3 card in black ink.
Autograph Note signed: "To Dan/all my best wishes/Claudette
Colbert" in black ink, 5x3 card. Affixed to a 5½x4½ card (2 surfaces).
Claudette Colbert (1903-1996) was brought to New York at the age
of seven. She embarked on a stage career in 1925. Colbert disliked film acting;
but audiences responded to her beauty and cultured voice, so she forsook the
stage for Hollywood. Her popularity (and salary) skyrocketed after she was
cast as "the wickedest woman in history," Nero's unscrupulous wife Poppaea, in
the Biblical epic The Sign of the Cross (1932). Colbert showed her
flair for sophisticated comedy by winning the 1934 Academy Award for
Best Actress for It Happened One Night. Traveling the usual
"fading star" route, Colbert made films in Europe and a budget Western in the
U.S. before returning triumphantly to Broadway. In 1961, she returned to
Hollywood as Troy Donahue's mother in Parrish. It would be her last film
appearance until the 1987 TV movie, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles - in which
she far outclassed her material. Slightly soiled. Ink note (unknown hand) at top
edge of 5½x4½ card. Otherwise, fine condition.
