A Joan Crawford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. signed letter
Autograph Letter Signed ("Joan Crawford Fairbanks, Jr." "Douglas Fairbanks, Jr."), 1 p, 12mo, [Los Angeles], n.d. [1929], to Ruth Roland and Ben Bard, on plain stationery, housed in a plastic holder with PSA/DNA certification attached. On the occasion of actress Ruth Roland's marriage to actor Ben Bard, Crawford congratulates them effusively: "May you always be the happiest souls in the world. I mean that most sincerely as one of your bestest friends." Fairbanks is more succinct when he writes underneath: "Ditto–etcetera, et al," and then attaches a humorous postscript: "Wait 'till [sic] you've [been] married as long as we have!!" Fairbanks and Crawford had been married only a few months. The missive was likely on the page of a congratulatory book, as the reverse features a letter from actor George W. Weeks also congratulating the newlyweds.
