NORMA SHEARER
Vintage studio photo, posed in front of a wooden frame, inscribed in
person to collector Saul Goodman
Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Saul/Best Wishes/from/Norma
Shearer". B/w, 8x10. Ink stamp on verso dates signature: September 3,
1935. Norma Shearer (1903-1983) won one Best Actress Academy Award for The
Divorcee (1929-1930), and she was nominated for five more: Their Own
Desire (1929-1930), A Free Soul (1930-1931), The Barretts of
Wimpole Street (1934), Romeo and Juliet (1936) and Marie
Antoinette (1938). She was married to MGM producer Irving
Thalberg until his early death (1936). Shearer turned down the starring role
in Mrs. Miniver, and, by some accounts, did the same for the part of
Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. She retired from films after 1942.
Saul Goodman (1919-2003), a New York business man by day, pursued his
love of film and theatre in the evening, making friends with many celebrities.
While other autograph seekers offered album leaves, Goodman presented stars
with snazzy photographs, a rarity then, to sign in fountain pen. Light
surface scratches (not visible head on). Lightly creased. Lightly worn at edges.
Otherwise, fine condition.
