MARY BRIAN
A signature from the actress, penning "Best Wishes"
Autograph sentiment signed: "Best Wishes/Mary Brian", in blue
ink, 5½x4½. Affixed are two unsigned newspaper clippings. Mary Brian
(1906-2002, born Louise Dantzler), an American leading lady and
one of the best liked actors in Hollywood during the silent age, got her
start as Wendy Darling in Peter Pan (1924) after appearing in a
beauty contest the previous year. This role landed her a contract with
Paramount, and she went on to appear in over 70 films between 1924 and
1927, and starred opposite Gary Cooper in Paramount's first all-talkie,
The Virginian (1929). She gave a memorable performance as W. C.
Fields' daughter in The Man on the Flying Trapeze (1935), and co-starred
with Cary Grant in The Amazing Quest of Ernest Bliss (1936). She made few
films after 1937, but was hardly dormant: touring with stage shows and
entertaining troops during World War IU. She later reappeared in low budget
movies and television, including a recurring role as mother Janet Archer in
Meet Corliss Archer (1954). Heavy creases. Top margin faded. Top right
corner creased. Edges slightly worn. Slightly soiled. Magazine clipping on
verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
