JOAN CRAWFORD (Lucille Fay LeSueur) 1905 - 1977
American actress in film, television and theatre. She began her 45 year career as a dancer before debuting on Broadway. Crawford was signed to a motion picture contract by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1925. Frustrated by the size and quality of her parts, Crawford began a campaign of self-publicity and became nationally known as a flapper by he end of the 1920s. In the 1930s, now famous,
Crawford became one of Hollywood's most prominent movie stars and one of the highest paid women in the United States, but her films began losing money and by the end of the 1930s she was labeled "box office poison". Crawford made a brilliant comeback starring in Mildred Pierce (1945), for which she won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Offered is her LARGE BOLD SIGNATURE cut from the bottom of a TLS, ON HER LIGHT GREEN STATIONARY, MEASURING: 2 3/8' X 61/4". The signature is in excellent condition.
