Poor Madge, Stuck with the Good Girl Image

Madge Evans ... just couldn't break the good girl casting.   She found playing the nice girl all the time as just too boring.  Finally chucked it all and married a Pulitzer Prize winning and very successful dramatist named Sidney Kingsley (Men in White, Dead End, Detective Story) who took her off to his 18th Century Oakland, New Jersey estate.  

I didn't realize until after purchasing Madge's photo that she had signed it.  You can see "To" just below her right hip and a swirl beginning the M in Madge.  Looking at the photo itself you can just make out scribbling across her dark skirt.  But, hey, it's still an autographed photo, right?!   (Sorta!)
