Autograph Note signed: "Betty & Jane/Bestest 2 u/Lillian
Roth/(Mrs. Berry Shaeleck)" 4¼x4¼ album leaf. Lillian Roth
(1910-1980, born Lillian Rutstein in Boston, Massachusetts) was an American
singer and actress. The actress began her professional career at six, when she
modeled as a living statue holding a lamp of knowledge for the Educational
Pictures trademark, and debuted on Broadway in Penrod in 1918. In all,
she had 20 TV and movie credits, with most between 1929 and 1934, and sang in
over 10 movies. She also appeared in a total of nine Broadway shows, with most
of these between 1918 and 1932. But Roth was an alcoholic and hit the skids in
the 1930s. She married and divorced a total of five times in her life, with the
first four marriages ending before 1945. Roth retired from films after 1934's
Masks and Memories and became a nightclub singer; she retuned to the
cinema over 40 years later with 1976's Communion. Roth released her
autobiography I'll Cry Tomorrow in 1954. It was adapted into a movie in
1955; Susan Hayward was nominated for an Oscar for her performance as Roth.
