Shown wearing an ankle length white gown, signed to a "new and now
old friend"
Inscribed photograph signed: "For [illegible]/Wonderful
meeting/a new and now/old friend/finally/Wishes/and/Blessing/Madge Kennedy",
in black felt tip, B/w 8x10. Stage, screen and television actress Madge
Kennedy (1891-1987) was a Broadway star by 1912, and she found
similar success in films after being signed to Goldwyn Pictures by Sam
Goldwyn within three months after he founded his studio. Goldwyn gave
Kennedy the title of "winsome", and she lived up to the name in her
light comedies, which included Baby Mine (1917), Our Little
Wife (1918) and Dollars and Sense (1920). After leaving Goldwyn
Pictures, Kennedy appeared in several films produced by her husband, Harold
Bolster, before retiring from the screen and returning to the stage.
Coaxed out of retirement by George Cukor for the role of Judge Carroll in
his 1952 film, The Marrying Kind, Kennedy began a second career as a
character actress, appearing in such films as Lust for Life (1956),
The Catered Affair (1956), North by Northwest (1959) and The
Day of the Locust (1975). She was also a guest star on a number of TV
shows, from Schlitz Playhouse of Stars (1954) to The Odd
Couple (1972), and Kennedy had a recurring role as Theodore Cleaver's
Aunt Martha Bronson on Leave it to Beaver (1957, 1958, 1959, 1963).
