B Movie and 50s Sci-Fi difficulties

Anyone know anything about the obscure actress Tandra Quinn. She was in The Mesa of Lost Women and The Neanderthal Man. I've heard her autograph is hard to come by. Recently one has turned up on Ebay. A google search shows (via worthpoint) this seller has had multiple signed photos of her over the years. 

Here's the listing: MESEA OF LOST WOMEN - 8 x 10 - TANDRA QUINN | eBay

Don't know the actor nor am I familiar with the movies but have you investigated whether she has/had her own website? I have come across a few websites over the years where c-listers or cult-movie cast members have set up shop selling signed photos and other memorabilia - usually for very reasonable prices.

This might explain a proliferation of signed photos, e.g.

I haven't found any indication that she had a site, though she lived long enough (2016) to benefit from cultdom. I can't seem to find any examples other than these few from the same seller ... 

P.S.

I do love when I find a cult figure who sells on their own website. And, yes, they are usually very reasonable. 

Thanks for the feedback!

I wonder if this is one they have sold over the years. From a Blog late 2013.

I have seen that one on Instagram. It was posted along with another autograph inscribed to a Scott. It certainly a match for the one up on ebay!

Thanks for digging it up. BTW, do you have a link to the blog?

Edit. No explanation text sadly, was hoping to scroll down and find a story about the autograph, ah well.

Very interesting. Wonder who Scott was ...

The Tom mentioned in the inscription could be Tom Weaver who interviewed her?

Oh wow, that's right! I forgot Weaver did that book. I've come across that Flikr account and actually emailed the guy who runs it. No reply from him. lol. Probably wondering who the weirdo is.
