Description: AUTOGRAPHED SIGNED PHOTO Pauline Frederick (1883 – 1938) was a stage & film star. Frederick's personal life was beset with marital and financial problems. Despite having reportedly made a million dollars for her work in silent films, Frederick filed for bankruptcy in 1933. She made her stage debut at the age of 17 as a chorus girl in the farce The Rogers Brothers at Harvard, but was fired shortly thereafter. She won other small roles on the stage before being discovered by illustrator Harrison Fisher who called her "the purest American beauty." With Fisher's help, she landed more substantial stage roles. Nicknamed "The Girl with the Topaz Eyes", Fredrick was cast in the lead roles in the touring productions of The Little Gray Lady and The Girl in White in 1906. She briefly retired from acting after her first marriage in 1909, but returned to the stage in January 1913 in Joseph and His Brethren. A well-known stage star, Frederick was already in her 30s when she made her film debut in 1915 as Donna Roma in The Eternal City. In March 1927, she received some of her better reviews when she appeared in the play Madame X in London. Frederick was able to make a successful transition to "talkies" in 1929, and was cast as Joan Crawford's mother in This Modern Age (1931). Frederick did not like acting in sound films and returned to Broadway in 1932 in When the Bough Breaks. She would continue the remainder of her career appearing in films and also touring in stage productions in the United States, Europe and Australia Frederick was married five times. In 1909, she married architect Frank Mills Andrews. Frederick then briefly retired from acting after their daughter Pauline was born in 1910, but returned upon divorcing Andrews in 1913. She married her second husband, playwright Willard Mack, on September 27, 1917. They divorced in August 1920. Her third husband was Dr. Charles A. Rutherford, a physician, whom she married in Santa Ana, California in 1922. Frederick filed for divorce in December 1924. Their divorce was finalized on January 6, 1925. It was around this time that the then 43-year-old first met the much younger Clark Gable, then a struggling actor, with whom she allegedly had a two-year affair. Frederick married her fourth husband, millionaire hotel and Interstate News Company owner Hugh Chisholm Leighton (1878-1942) on April 20, 1930 in New York City. Leighton had the marriage annulled in December 1930 claiming that he was Frederick's husband "in name only". Frederick's fifth marriage, in January 1934, was to an ailing United States Army colonel, Joseph A. Marmon, commander of the 16th Infantry Regiment. 8 They remained married until Marmon's death on December 4, 1934. On January 17, 1936, Frederick underwent emergency surgery on her abdomen. Her health steadily declined, which limited her ability to work. She was dealt a further blow when her mother died in 1937. On September 16, 1938, Frederick suffered an asthma attack. She suffered a second, fatal asthma attack on September 19, 1938 while she was recuperating at her aunt's home in Beverly Hills. According to her wishes, a private funeral was held on September 23, 1938 in Hollywood, FILMOGRAPHY 1915 The Eternal City Donna Roma 1915 Sold Helen 1915 Zaza ZaZa 1915 Bella Donna Ruby Chepstow 1915 Lydia Gilmore Lydia Gilmore 1916 The Spider Valerie St. Cyr 1916 Audrey Audrey 1916 The Moment Before Madge 1916 The World's Great Snare Myra 1916 The Woman in the Case Margaret 1916 Ashes of Embers Laura & Agnes Ward 1916 Nanette of the Wilds Nanette 1917 The Slave Market Ramona 1917 Sapho Sapho, aka Fanny Lagrand 1917 Sleeping Fires Zelma Bryce 1917 Her Better Self Vivian Tyler 1917 The Love That Lives Molly McGill 1917 Double Crossed Eleanor 1917 The Hungry Heart Courtney 1918 Mrs. Dane's Defense Felicia 1918 Madame Jealousy Madame Jealousy 1918 La Tosca Floria Tosca 1918 Resurrection Katusha 1918 Her Final Reckoning Marsa 1918 Fedora Princess Fedora 1918 Stake Uncle Sam to Play Your Hand 1918 A Daughter of the Old South Dolores 1919 Out of the Shadow Ruth Minchin 1919 The Woman on the Index Sylvia 1919 Paid in Full Emma Brooks 1919 One Week of Life Mrs. Sherwood 1919 The Fear Woman Helen Winthrop 1919 The Peace of Roaring River Madge 1919 Bonds of Love Una Sayre 1919 The Loves of Letty Letty Shell 1920 The Paliser Case Cassy Cara 1920 The Woman in Room 13 Laura Bruce 1920 Madame X Jacqueline Floriot 1920 A Slave of Vanity Iris Bellamy 1921 The Mistress of Shenstone Lady Myra 1921 Roads of Destiny Dolly Jordan Lennon 1921 Salvage Bernice Ridgeway/Kate Martin 1921 The Sting of the Lash Dorothy Keith 1921 The Lure of Jade Sara Vincent 1922 The Woman Breed 1922 Two Kinds of Women Judith Sanford 1922 The Glory of Clementina Clementina 1924 Let Not Man Put Asunder Petrina 1924 Married Flirts Nellie Wayne 1924 Three Women Mrs. Mabel Wilton 1925 Smouldering Fires Jane Vale 1926 Her Honor, the Governor Adele Fenway 1926 Devil's Island Jeannette Picto 1926 Josselyn's Wife Lillian Josselyn 1927 Mumsie Mumsie 1927 The Nest Mrs. Hamilton 1928 On Trial Joan Trask 1929 Evidence Myra Stanhope 1929 The Sacred Flame Mrs. Taylor 1930 Terra Melophon Magazin Nr. 1 1931 This Modern Age Diane Winters 1932 Wayward Mrs. Eleanor Frost 1932 The Phantom of Crestwood Faith Andes 1932 Self Defense Katy Devoux 1934 Social Register Mrs. Breene 1935 My Marriage Mrs. DeWitt Tyler II 1936 Ramona Señora Moreno 1937 Thank You, Mr. Moto Madame Chung $6.00 INSURED BOXED SHIPPING
