reserved for a signature. Helen Twelvetrees (1908-1958) was signed to a
series of movie contracts to replace silent film stars unwilling or unable to
perform in the sound era. Her first picture was The Ghost Talks
(1929). The following year, her performance in Her Man proved the model
for her future roles, a long-suffering woman tied to the wrong guy. She
starred opposite some major actors, including Spencer Tracy in Now I'll
Talk (1934). She made her last film, Unmarried, in 1939, but
continued to act on stage. She was praised for her performance as Blanche Dubois
in a summer stock performance of A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951. Her
death in 1958 was ruled a suicide, following an overdose of prescription
medication. After a funeral attended only by her husband and one friend, she was
buried in an unmarked grave in Middletown, Pennsylvania which was only
rediscovered in 2009. Toned. Chipped at top right corner. Otherwise, fine
condition.
