My aunt recently passed away and I inherited her collection of autographs. There is a whole envelope of them, most were at one time, in some type of notebook (think a small ringed binder?) but are now loose. There are many I recognize but some I don't and I will get to those later, but the best piece I think she had was an envelope covered with autographs from some kind of event, she went and stood outside at a lot of premiers and award shows.
Anyway, I've scanned the piece and and typed who I think is the signer on the image. There are a few that are unidentifiable to me and I was hoping someone who has more experience and knowledge could help me figure it out. Especially the one under Ernest Borgnine (in purple) and the Jack B??? under Chill Wills.

A really fun envelope, Kirsten. Looks like about 1960.
I think she was back home in the bay area by 1960, there is a picture of her in the stands outside the Oscars in I think 1957. I think she was there from 1951-57. (Not in the stands, I mean Hollywood)
Maybe, but I think it ends in D, Rose Marie Bowe's R is kinda in the middle of it all. I thought it could also be Jack Buetel but it's not easy to make out.
Here is a list of the names I can decipher so far:
Maureen O'Hara
George Nader
Rose Marie Bowe (Stack)
George Gobel
Bette Davis
Chill Wills
Eva Marie Saint
Vincent Price
Robert Stack
Ronald Reagan
Nancy Davis (Reagan)
Carroll Baker
Ralph Edwards
Bob Warren
Kirk Douglas
Gene Raymond
Jimmie Dodd
Mamie Van Doren
Ernest Borgnine
Karen Steele
John Kerr
Teresa Wright
Deborah Kerr
And then a few I am guessing at, Jack Buetel under Chill Wills and What I think is Ann Sothern under Maureen O'Hara.
I'm having trouble figuring out the names in blue, green, purple and pink. I thought the one in blue looked like the name Tom Pryor but as far as I can google Tom Pryor is not an actor from the 1950's, so it only looks like Tom, maybe it's another letter? Anyway I just thought I'd bump this thread to see if any one else could help. Thanks
Oh by the way, I did find an unsigned program from the 29th Oscar Awards ceremony in 1957 in the pile of stuff she left me.
