Cat. #000422112: OLGA BACLANOVA

Highly rare vintage black fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan autograph album page, given Russian-style, with her surname only, as "Baclanova," as was her custom in the late 1920s and early 1930s, when this was attained. In fine condition for its age. Luscious Russian-born leading lady Olga Baclanova is remembered by horror buffs for her starring roles in The Vampyre Woman (1915), The Man Who Laughs (1928) and-- of course!-- Tod Browning’s Freaks (1932), in which she was so brutally transformed into the squawking Chicken Lady by the sideshow troupe after double-timing one of their own.
