PAULETTE GODDARD - AUTOGRAPH NOTE SIGNED - HFSID 36144
PAULETTE GODDARD
Goddard handwrote and signed this letter in ink on The Plaza stationery to a friend about how the friend knew her birthday with her full first name.
Autograph Note Signed: "
Paulette
" in ink, 1 page, 6¼x9½, one sheet, on The Plaza stationary in New York.
In full
: "
I recall your horoscope book in S. M. Is that how you knew today was my birthday Fantastic! Thanx
[sic]". Stamp in red at upper right corner on verso: "From The Estate/of ANITA LOOS", so this letter was possibly sent to author and screenwriter Anita Loos, who is perhaps best known for her 1925 novel,
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
, which was later made into a silent film (1928), a 1949 Broadway musical and the 1952 film starring Marilyn Monroe. Among her most successful theatrical projects were adaptations of
Gigi
(1950, filmed in 1958) and
Cheri
(1957).
PAULETTE GODDARD
, a
former teen Broadway chorus girl
,
first attracted attention when she was featured reclining on a prop crescent moon in the 1928 Ziegfeld musical,
Rio Rita
. She reportedly made several two-reel comedies for Hal Roach (in a blond wig) before being
featured as a "Goldwyn Girl" in Eddie Cantor's film,
Kid from Spain
, in 1932. Goddard
shot to stardom when she was cast by Charlie Chaplin in his 1936 film,
Modern Times
.
She also
won Chaplin's heart as well as the role
, but there were questions as to whether the two were ever legally married, and her relationship with Chaplin cost her the one role that she truly coveted: Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 epic,
Gone With the Wind
. She also later married German writer Enrich Maria Remarque (
All Quiet on the Western Front
), who was Jewish. Goddard was
coaxed out of retirement for a made-for-TV movie,
The Snoop Sisters
, in 1972
.
Lightly creased at corners. Fold crease through bottom of Paulette. Red stamp on verso bleeds through at upper left. Otherwise, fine condition.
