Actress (1908–1932) who appeared in several stage productions and one film, Thirteen Women. Struggling with depression and difficulty finding roles, she committed suicide in September 1932 by jumping from the 50 foot tall letter ‘H’ in the Hollywood sign. Vintage fountain pen signature, “To the ‘It’ girl of the Webb ‘Estate.’ (The one with the curl in the middle of her forehead), ‘Pentwistle,’ 7/18/29,” on an off-white 9.75 x 8 sheet. Entwistle signed the page for Mabelle Webb, mother of Clifton Webb, along with H. W. Ross, Joan Carter-Waddell, and Michael Farmer. In fine condition. Only one other Entwistle autograph is known to exist. In an ironic turn of fate, her uncle received a letter the day after her death that offered her a part portraying a young woman driven to suicide. An extremely rare and unique signature from the tragic ingenue.
