Cat. #001585423142: PERT KELTON

Scarce vintage blue fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch light green autograph album page, acquired in-person in the 1930s and decorated with a small magazine image of the star. In good condition, with a few minor surface crinkles. Feisty Pert Kelton, who was a popular comedic film actress in the 1930s, was the first actress to play Alice Kramden on T.V.'s "The Honeymooners" (1951-1952) two decades later, forced to leave the show under suspicions of Communist leanings. She was also noteworthy as Shirley Jones' Irish mother in The Music Man (1962) and on the classic episode of "The Twilight Zone" entitled "Miniature" in 1963.
