Author: DOUGLAS, Helen Gahagan (1900-80)
Title: Partly-Printed Document Signed
Description: This versatile actress was married to film heartthrob Melvyn Douglas and was also a successful Congresswoman, diplomat and author. Partly-printed DS, 1p, 7¼" X 10½", Washington, DC, 1945 May 2. Very good. Minor wear, bit of soiling and couple of acid spots from editorial staples. "Who's Who in America" updating form, consisting of Douglas' typed biographical entry for the 1946-47 edition, bearing several additions in her hand and her full signature in black ink at the close. Also bearing various editors' markings in green, blue and red ink and pencil. Comes with 5 other related typed documents, none signed, from Douglas' "Who's Who" records -- a carbon of the above document, a 2-page mimeographed chronology no doubt sent by Douglas' congressional office, a biographical data form, and so on. A fascinating and unusual, accompanied by a scarce original 1947 glossy 6½" X 8½" news agency photograph of Douglas carrying a basket of groceries to the House of Representatives. .
