JESSIE MATTHEWS Vintage photo, chin resting in her palm, inscribed in person to collector Saul Goodman Photograph inscribed and signed: “To Saul/Best Wishes/Jessie Matthews”. Collector’s ink stamp on verso dates signature: October 23, 1941. Irving Berlin and Rodgers and Hart wrote songs for her, including the latter’s hit My Heart Stood Still. She starred in both the stage and film versions of Evergreen , one of the first British musicals to be a big hit in the US. Her grace as a dancer earned the sobriquet ” the female Fred Astaire, ” efforts to pair them on screen ran afoul of studio rivalries. Her career was badly damaged by affairs and contentious divorces headlined in the tabloid press, but she made a comeback as a musical star of British radio in the 1950s. While other autograph seekers offered album leaves, Goodman presented stars with snazzy photographs, a rarity then, to sign in fountain pen. See additional material from these signers.
