Roger Perry appeared a movie that scared the daylights out of me when I saw it at the local movie theater in 1971 with friends. The movie was the sequel to Count Yorga Vampire starring Robert Quarry and was titled The Return of Count Yorga. Roger Perry was excellent in both movies. Surprisingly (to me anyway) he was married to Jo Ann Worley. He was in one episode each of Star Trek and The Munsters. He was in scores of movies and television shows. Perry guest starred in the TAGS episode titled "Don't Miss a Good Bet." Below is his autograph above his picture with "Goober" and "Floyd."

The yellow vintage album page is one I bought from Classic Entertainment Autographs. It is also the first shown (1939) exemplar on Dr. Brucato and Tom Kramer's great Classic Entertainment Autograph Database (CEAD). He sometimes uses a capital
"A" often found in later examples of his. The green example is from 1970 and one I bought from jgautographs.

Enid Markey (1894-1981) was a film star of the silent era of movie making. She was the very first "Jane" in a Tarzan movie! She appeared in the Adventures of Tarzan and the sequel The Romance of Tarzan both from 1918. She appeared in The Naked City in 1948 and The Boston Strangler in 1968. Her most famous television role was as Barney Fife's landlady, Mrs. Mendlebright, in "Up in Barney's Room" in 1963. She appeared as "Grandma Pyle" in the Jim Nabor's show Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. She also appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Presents, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet and several theater-type television shows like Playhouse 90. Her autograph is scarce this one is from a 1942 light pink album page in fountain pen acquired from Classic Entertainment Autographs.
