JANE WITHERS. Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Mae,/Lovingly/Jane Withers".
Sepiatone, 8x10. At lower right corner, Withers has drawn a doodle and labeled it "me".
Jane Withers (1926-2021) was taught to sing and dance before she was three. At four, she was
starring on her own radio program in Atlanta, doing imitations of such celebrities as Greta
Garbo, ZaSu Pitts and Maurice Chevalier. Relocating to Hollywood with her mother in 1932,
Jane began her film career with bit parts, eventually (at age eight) winning the plum role
of the obnoxious brat who bedevils sweet little Shirley Temple in Bright Eyes. This role
won Jane a contract at Fox Studios, and for the next seven years she starred in a series of
comedies and musicals. Her later films included Giant (1956) and Captain Newman, M.D.,
and Withers has also voiced a number of animated TV characters and guest starred on several
TV series, from The Chevrolet Tele-Theatre (1949) to Murder, She Wrote (1993). To TV
viewers of the 1960s and 1970s, Withers will be forever associated with her long-running (and
extremely lucrative) stint as Josephine the Plumber in a popular series of commercials for
Comet cleanser. Slightly creased, soiled at blank margins. Stray ink mark at upper right
background. Worn at corners. Overall, fine condition.
