Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 166<\/h3>\n

\"AnnSig<\/p>\n

We’ve spent a few\u00c2\u00a0 days looking at Ann’s signature over the years. For those of you interested in getting an authentic Ann Dvorak autograph here are a couple of photos to be aware of – the studio issued images signed by a secretary.<\/p>\n

Both of these are from the later 1940s, measure 5×7, and appear to have been signed by the same person. These two are the images I have seen most often, so they are definitely floating around. Compared to the signatures we looked at yesterday, these are a much more fluid and flowery script.<\/p>\n

What should an Ann Dvorak autograph cost? I my opinion, a cut signature should be around $15, and $20 would be pushing it. An 8×10 around $40 and an 11×14 around $75. Of course it also depends on the quality of the photo and who the photographer was. I have a number of Ann’s film and radio contracts and don’t think I ever paid more than $30 for any of those. I think the most I ever spent on an Ann signature was a 5 page letter she wrote to her agent in 1951 and that was around $100.<\/p>\n

Ann was not stingy with here autograph, so they’re out there. Just be sure not to pay too much, especially if she was not the one doing the signing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
