Judy Garland signed photo

Hi does anyone know if Judy's signature is real? I've heard her signature can be written several different ways. The photo is probably a studio photo which is better than a regular photo that tends to yellow over time. I'd like an opinion if its real or secretarial signed.

Thanks, Troy

It is not a secretarial I have seen and it is not her hand. Sorry.

Thanks .I got Judy with an album of 89 old hollywood photos from the 30's and 40's .Many were signed to Olga,so i believe it was one girls collection.It would be interesting to know who signed it.

Hi Troy,

Sorry the news was not better. I looked back to 1935.

Here is a link to exemplars and secretarials of her:

PS - approximately 75% of all 1930's/40's 5"x7" studio fan photos are secretarial. To get an 11"x14" you had to send in 25 cents and those are almost always signed by the celebrity.
