An Original Vintage Autographed Arcade Card (measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" [8 x 13 cm]) (Learn More) Virginia Mayo (born Virginia Clara Jones) was an actress from the 1940s to the 1990s. At 17, she was a member of the St. Louis Municipal Opera, and she was signed to a contract by Samuel Goldwyn, but she was far from an overnight success! David O. Selznick gave her a screen test, but did not think she had a future in films, and it was not until years later in the early 1940s that she finally got some good roles. But once she had success, she hung onto it for a long time, continuing to have good parts through the 1950s! Some of her mostly Warner Bros. movies include: The Best Years of Our Lives, White Heat, Wonder Man, Backfire, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, and A Song Is Born. She passed away in 2005 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this arcade card has been personally autographed (signed) by Virginia Mayo! Note that this is part of an unusual collection! The person who had these arcade cards, each of which has a facsimile signature printed on it, then got a real signature on the front of the card. Because these were purchased by a dealer many years ago, and because both the original collector and the dealer are no longer living, we don't know whether the real signatures were acquired in person or through the mail, but because they were acquired decades ago, we think it is extremely likely that all of them are authentic, but our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity, so bear that in mind before bidding on this arcade card. 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 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: good. There are creases in the left that extend into Mayo's hair, forehead, and cheek. Learn More about condition grades
