Clipped Signature: "Helen Twelvetrees", 3½x1 paper. Signed on
a typed line 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. Creased. Irregularly cut edges. Otherwise, fine
condition.
