Claudette Colbert Autograph on b/w Photo unsigned Ross Photo. COA (FEMALE Movie Stars) at AC All Collectibles

Colbert was a French actress 1903-96 .
Claudette's popularity skyrocketed after she was cast as "the wickedest woman in history," Nero's unscrupulous wife Poppaea, in the Biblical epic The Sign of the Cross (1932). She expanded her range as a street-smart smuggler's daughter in I Cover the Waterfront and in the pioneering screwball comedy Three-Cornered Moon (both 1933)

Virtually every other actress in Hollywood had turned down the role of spoiled heiress Ellie Andrews in Columbia's It Happened One Night (1934), and when director Frank Capra approached an unenthusiastic Colbert, she wearily agreed to appear in the film on the conditions that she be paid twice her normal salary and that the film be completed before she was scheduled to go on vacation in four weeks. Colbert considered the experience one of the worst in her life -- until the 1935 Academy Awards ceremony, in which It Happened One Night won in virtually all major categories, including a Best Actress Oscar for her.

Eleonora Duse: Attractive vintage Portrait Postcard of this great Actress (Historical Collectables) at AC All Collectibles

1905: Portrait photo postcard of Eleonore Duse. Used in Austria in 1905. Fine condition.

Eleonora Duse, one of the most attractive women, (1858-1924), Italian actress, was Italian, born of a family of actors, made her first stage appearance at a very early age. By 1885 she was recognized at home as Italy's greatest actress, and this verdict was confirmed by that of all the leading cities of Europe and America. In 1893 she made her first appearances in New York and in London. Her greatest successes during the 1880s and early 1890s--the days of her chief triumphs--were in Italian versions of such plays as La Dame aux camélias, in which Sarah Bernhardt was already famous; and Madame Duse's reputation as an actress was founded less on her "creations" than on her magnificent individuality.
