What A Legend Is.........

 
 THE FABULOUS 
DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR

One of the last great stars has left the building and will truly be missed. One of my favorite actress to watch on film. I purchased this piece years ago and have always treasured it.  Dame Taylor's signature is not hard to come by, its the price you have to pay for it. She required a donation to amFAR for an autograph, I feel that was very fair.

The Future Hobbit

ELIJAH WOOD

I purchased this 8 x 10 from a dealer in the UK. I like the photograph because it is not a character shot, but a portrait instead. Not an uncommon thing for collectors to buy autographed photos from other parts of the world. Depends when what dealer has the right photographs at the right time. Sometimes I like character photos, but it has to be a certain character and a certain actor or actress. Like if I was going to have a Danny Devito piece it would have to be him as The Penguin from Batman. Keep a watch on Wood, he is very busy and has 6 projects in the works.

Gentlemen Perfer Blondes?


One of Hollywood's leading 
sex symbols in the 1940s and 1950s.

Another great siren of screen has departed from us, the great Ms. Jane Russell. I purchased this piece of sheet music at an estate sale, how great it would be to send it to Ms. Russell and have her sign it for me. This was about 10+ years ago when I was just starting to collect and I think she was charging $25.00 or $30.00 an item for her to sign. Sent it to her and it was back in a couple of weeks.
