STEPIN FETCHIT
Stepin Fetchit signs and addresses an envelope in red ink.
Envelope signed: "Stepin Fetchit". Addressed by Fetchit
to: "Rev.& Mrs. F.W. Britton/Mr. & Mrs. Jim Britton/214
Dupont/Pila, PA./19127" Stephin Fetchit often wrote incoherently, such as
this one. The first Black actor to become a millionaire, Stepin Fetchit
(1902-1985), who debuted in In Old Kentucky (1927), made some 50 films.
Born Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry, Fetchit had renamed himself before
his arrival in Hollywood (in the late 1920s) for a racehorse that won money
for him. The first Black actor to receive featured billing in American
films, he also composed and wrote the lyrics for the score of One More
Spring (1935). Although his screen image is criticized for reinforcing
negative stereotypes about Black Americans, Fetchit received a special Image
Award from the Hollywood chapter of the NAACP in 1976, and he was elected to
the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame two years later. Fine
condition.
