Celebrity Photographs
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away ... people used to write to their favorite Hollywood stars and would usually get a signed photograph back (ok - sometimes the star had help in signing, but many times they did sign, and the recipients treasured the photographs in any case). Here is your chance to see what you could have gotten in the mail back then...
Fred Astaire For callow youths - he was the ultimate debonair dancer
Ray Bolger The Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz
Marlon Brando A brash kid long before The Godfather
George Burns and Gracie Allen Vaudeville to Radio and Television - then a rebirth for George Burns when others would have been retired

Joan Crawford "Mommie Dearest" made a point of signing her fan mail
James Dean This was sent out after his death - he was a star far too short a time for many actual signed photos to exist
Yvonne DeCarlo A femme fatale - she also had a second career - as Lily Munster on TV
Jackie Gleason From a tiny studio at DuMont - to the Convention Center at Miami Beach, he always filled the stage
Ginger Rogers So connected with Fred Astaire in the minds of people, we forget that she only did a handful of movies with him
Ruth Roman
Rosalind Russell I guess you probably only remember her as Mame, right?
Ann Sheridan
James Stewart "Harvey" is one of my favorite films - we need more Elwood P. Dowds, but almost every character he played was memorable
Cornell Wilde
Natalie Wood She grew up on screen - but "Miracle on 34th Street" keeps he ever young
US Presidential Autographs
