Rare DS, signed “Joan Anderson” and “Joan S. Anderson,” one page both sides, 6 x 8.75, July 2, 1965. AFTRA membership application, filled out by Mitchell who lists her “professional name” as “Joan Anderson,” and her “legal name” as “Joan S. Anderson,” as well an address in Pacific Palisades. The rest is filled out by her representative, “Gregg Smith,” listing her occupation as “Singer” and gross income as between $0 and $2000. An AFTRA office receipt is stapled to the top. In fine to very fine condition. An especially interesting document, as union dues were part of what drove her to the United States—as a young folk singer in Toronto, Mitchell couldn’t afford the $160 union fee required to play at the most profitable locations along the vibrant folk circuit and so was relegated to less popular venues. She married Chuck Mitchell in June 1965, taking his surname. An especially early document signed twice with her given name, this is a truly spectacular find.
