ABOUT THE AUTOGRAPHClaudette Colbert signed the card in 1974, during a retrospective screening of "It Happened One Night." My Aunt and Uncle were persistent autograph hunters and approached her in the lobby of a vintage movie (The Vagabond) theater in Hollywood. Colbert didn't like signing autographs in person, preferring to respond to requests in letters. Despite the fact that she was in a rush to exit the screening, she was very friendly. She quickly signed the card and left the scene. ABOUT CLAUDETTE COLBERTClaudette Colbert (1903 –1996) was an American actress and one of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema. After beginning her career on Broadway in the late 1920s, Colbert performed in movies during the advent of talking pictures. She starred in more than 60 films. She was initially associated with Paramount Pictures but gradually worked as an actress free of the old studio system. She won an Academy Award for Best Actress in "It Happened One Night" (with Clark Gable) in 1934. She also received 2 other Academy Award nominations for "Private Worlds" (1935 with Charles Boyer) and "Since You Went Away" (1944 with Jennifer Jones and Shirley Temple.) Other notable films include: "Cleopatra" (for Director Cecil B. DeMille in 1934) and "The Palm Beach Story" (1942). Colbert was famous for her round face, big eyes, charming manner and gifts for light comedy and emotional drama. Her versatility made her one of the best-paid stars in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1938 and 1942, Colbert was the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. Her frequent co-stars included Fred MacMurray and Frederick March. In the early 1950s, she turned to TV and the stage. In 1959, she won a Tony Award for "The Marriage Go-Round" on Broadway. Her TV role in "The Two Mrs.Grenvilles" (1987) earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Emmy nomination.
