Here is a gorgeous very rare very early vintage original double weight autographed 6" by 8" (slightly larger) photo of actress Madge Bellamy (1910-1990), from her prime in the 1920s. Madge Bellamy starred in such films as Lorna Doone (1922), The Iron Horse (1924) and White Zombie (1932). One of the few actresses of her era able to do so, she transitioned into talkies very well and continued to have lead roles into the 1930s. Madge Bellamy made the headlines in 1943 again when she shot ...her lover, the millionaire A. Stanford Murphy, as he wanted to leave her because of another woman. Minor corner wear, small stain left side. Very rare autograph.

With her performances in "Lorna Doone" (22) and John Ford's "The Iron Horse" (24) she could celebrate great successes.

Madge Bellamy got married with stockbroker Logan Metcalf in 1928 but the marriage lasted only three days. When she refused to play in the special for her purchased movie "The Trial of Mary Dugan", this led to the breaking-off with Fox Pictures.

The 30's offered her only few roles, of which the movies "Riot Squad" (33), "Charlie Chan in London" (34) and "The Great Hotel Murder" (35) are in best memory. Her last role in "Northwest Trail" in 1945.
