Deborah Kerr & James Donald Signed Album Page – COA JSA

This item originates from the Roy Moseley collection. Moseley was one of the leaders in show business journalism in England. He wrote many books that appeared on the New York Time’s Best Seller List. Being an author in high regard had its perks, as he was closely connected to royalty and celebrities. Hence his notable work, “My Stars and Other Friends” provides a glimpse into the lifestyle us everyday people dream about. During his career, Moseley brilliantly gathered in person some of the finest autographs in the world. Some were personalized to him as a testament to their respect and kinship. Every celebrity has a story as well as every autograph Moseley obtained. Here now is one of those legacy pieces for your collection.

Presented is an autograph from one of the pages in Moseley’s many albums. This one (5.25″ x 6.5″) splendidly features signatures on both sides. One side features an autograph of Deborah Kerr. She signed her side in blue pen (“9”) with the inscription, “To Roy Best Wishes”.

During her career, she won a Golden Globe for her performance as Anna Leonowens in the motion picture The King and I (1956 film) and the Sarah Siddons Award for her performance as Laura Reynolds in the play Tea and Sympathy (a role she originated on Broadway).

The side with the JSA sticker features actor James Donald and was signed in blue ballpoint (“9”) with a personalization, “Roy From”. He memorably portrayed Major Clipton, the doctor who expresses grave doubts about the sanity of Col. Nicholson’s Alec Guinness efforts to build the bridge in order to show up his Japanese captors, in the classic war film The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957). He had the honor of speaking the film’s iconic final words: “Madness!, Madness!”
