An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Madge Evans was an actress from the 1910s to the 1950s. She was born in 1909, and she became an actress in commercials at the age of 2, as "Baby Madge". In 1914, she was picked to play a small girl in several William Fox movies, and she appeared in over 20 in her first two years, and she was still just 6 years old! In 1917, when she was 8, she made her Broadway debut with John and Lionel Barrymore. In 1931, she was signed to a Hollywood contract by MGM. She is probably best remembered for playing Lionel Barrymore's daughter in "Dinner at Eight" in 1933. She starred opposite of James Cagney in "The Mayor of Hell", Spencer Tracy in "The Show-Off", and Bing Crosby in "Pennies from Heaven". She left MGM in 1937, and in 1939, she married famous playwright Sidney Kingsley, and she pretty much retired, although she appeared on stage in one of her husband's plays, "The Patriot", in 1943. She passed away in 1981 at the age of 71. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Madge Evans! Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a Bonham's TCM Auction in 2018. It was one of a group of signed photos that were owned by Thelma Williston, who was from New Jersey and born in 1899, and likely acquired this photo and the others in the 1920s and 1930s. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Also note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
