GRACE MOORE
Vintage photo of the Tennessee Nightingale, inscribed in person to collector
Saul Goodman
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Saul/From/Grace Moore". B/w,
8x10. Collector's ink stamp on verso dates signature May 18, 1935. Grace
Moore (1898-1947) was a lyric soprano who starred at the Metropolitan
Opera, with an Italian and French repertoire. She also starred in two
M-G-M films of the early 1930s, but was released by that studio for
putting on too much weight. After Columbia hired her, Moore, dubbed "The
Tennessee Nightingale", helped popularize opera in a string of successful
productions, including One Night of Love (1934), for which she was
nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award. Moore was killed in a plane
crash over Copenhagen during a European concert tour in 1947. Elvis
Presley's mansion, Graceland, is reportedly named for her. Saul Goodman
(1919-2003), a New York business man by day, pursued his love of film and
theatre in the evening, making friends with many celebrities. While other
autograph seekers offered album leaves, Goodman presented stars with snazzy
photographs, a rarity then, to sign in fountain pen. Light surface
impressions. Otherwise, fine condition.
