Louise Fazenda (1895-1962) joined Mack Sennett's Keystone Company in
1915, getting her first starring role in Down on the Farm (1920).
Skilled at slapstick, she played mostly comic character roles for two decades
until retiring from film after her marriage to producer Hal Wallis in 1939.
She was known for her country rube roles, which inspired later
comedians like Judy Canova and Minnie Pearl. Fazenda was known for her
charitable work, not just donations of money but actively helping needy people.
A. M. "Doc" Salomon, a friend of
studio mogul Jack Warner who rose to head the London branch of Warner
Bros. studios, compiled an extensive collection of celebrity autographs
during his nearly 30 years with the studio. A V-1 rocket demolished his
London studio in July 1944 and killed Salomon, but his photo collection
miraculously survived. Heavy mounting residue on verso. Corners worn. Toned.
Signature light but legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
