Hollywood Autographs From The Golden Era
Some movie buffs love collecting autographs from stars of the old time Hollywood movies. Since many of the dynamic visual effects that attract audiences today did not exist in the 30′s and 40′s, the intrigue and mastery of screen writing were of paramount importance. Fortunately, most of the actors and actresses of Hollywood’s Golden Era graciously and generously signed for autograph collectors.
Photographs commissioned by the movie studios of the Golden Era were often of remarkable quality. Photos taken by famous Hollywood photographers that include George Hurrell and Clarence Bullock attest to their exquisite talent. Stars inscribed many attractive photographs taken by these photographers to family, friends, and fans. These quality photographs have the fine quality that is unmatched by laser printed color photos of today. Vintage photos autographed by Hollywood movie stars are wonderful collectibles.
Movies studios retained many contracts signed by Hollywood celebrities that have appeared on the autograph marketplace. Over the past decade these contract have come to market and have provided a wonderful source of authentic autographs. Even the autograph of the famously reclusive Howard Hughes can sometimes be found among contracts he signed on behalf of his movie production company known as Caddo. In some cases, both Howard Hughes and influential movie legend Howard Hawks have signed their names on a production contract.
Checks signed by legendary Hollywood stars are also available to collectors. Financial managers for the Golden Era stars such as Morgan Maree had files filled with their autographed contracts, checks, and other legal documents. Elizabeth Maree, widow of Morgan Maree, said that her husband had loads of autographed material signed by Judy Garland, Cary Grant and Humphrey Bogart. Alas, many of these autographed contracts were trashed and only a few trickles of their vintage autographed material have become available to collectors.
Autographs from the Golden Era of Hollywood are nostalgic reminders of one of the most remarkable periods in the history of America. The charm, beauty and grace of classic actors from this period are assurances that their autographs will continue to be collected and treasured.

Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss $6.45 First-time director Tommy O’Haver garnered a lot of critical acclaim for this contribution to the “new queer cinema.” But he seems more clued in as to its weight than the reviewers. O’Haver rightly calls Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss a Tommy O’Haver “trifle” in the credits and he’s on the money in estimating what his film is worth. For sure, the movie has much going for it; it’s wholeheartedly enj… |
