Picture post card signed: "Stepin Fetchit" in green ink.
4¼x5½. Stepin Fetchit (1902-1985), the first African American actor to
become a millionaire, 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. Toned. Corners rounded. Dark smudges on verso. Otherwise, fine
condition.
