Are you asking because you don't know, or because you don't think we have enough to do?:)

Because I don't know :)

Just checking. I started searching around online, then stopped because I didn't know if this was some kind of contest or something.

For the life of me I can't decipher her scrawl.[huh] Even the first letter of her first and last name would help, but I can't figure out what they are.

Perhaps there's a handwriting expert lurking somewhere in the Lounge...

hmmm...I was thinking Ann Sothern.
But I feel like this gal was someone in television
later on...like in the later 60's or 70's.

The first word is "Best", maybe "Best Wishes"?

The first letter of the last name is an S. That's the same way I handwrite that letter.

Do you actually own this autograph? And considering her hair style, I'd say the photo was taken in the 1950s or early 60s.

How about Ann Sheridan?[huh]


Great guess, and I searched for her autograph online to compare
and found this. Doesn't look exactly the same...but this could be signed
when she was older, and the one below when she was younger
and a bit more in a hurry....I think you could be right!

I noticed in the photo she looks like she is playing poker and is holding cards?
I thought this could be a Western. Looks like she was in a show called
"Pistols n' Petticoats" back in 1966. Here is an TV Magazine cover with her on it.
Her hair looks the same.

Here is some video footage of the show also.

I've looked up a lot of pictures of Ann Sheridan and I still can't tell if it's the same woman.
A few pics of Ann:

Does look like the name could match though.

This still bugs me...anyone know??
I watched Bewitched the other night and
this girl was on their who had the same features.
Her name was Nancy Kovack. The autographs don't match.
AND if that is Ann Sheridan that is not her autograph...
when I have looked it up, her signature doesn't have that
scribbled flow to it.

Slightly off topic, but I've always considered an off-the-shouder dress like the one this lady is wearing to be the epitome of beauty and elegance.

She looks like Ann Sothern, to me. (Not "Southern.") Not a great photo, but compare her mouth, cheeks, eye brows and nose.

Ann Sothern? I won't offer an opinion, but I *will* shamelessly take the opportunity to show off a photo of Ann Sothern I just happen to have hanging on my wall. It's from an original negative, and was a snazzy gift from a charming gentleman with outstanding taste.

For your reference:

Oh Dashiell ~ It's breathtaking!!!!!

Oh...and Ann Sothern ~ I had looked that up as well.
Again, the signatures don't compare & I am beginning
to wonder if someone signed signed this photo that was
NOT the actress in the photo.

Yes...that style of dress with the shoulders showing is
really quite glamorous.
