Looks weird. I know she has a disease that her body doesn't function as it should so maybe her autograph is off because of that but I haven't seen any of her recent signatures.

My mom passed away 17 years ago from complications caused by MS.. she started showing signs when I was a kid and I remember she would try to write letters to people to help her focus. It didn't really work. But the early stages, she wrote much much slower than she used to. This was before it became shaky. Medicine has advanced some since then. My mom was a special case and progressed quickly. We always wondered how Annette Funicillo could live with it so much better than my mom could.. 

All this said, this signature looks way off than her usual, but don't dismiss it just yet. Hold off and find some recent in-person signatures if you can.. im still on the fence about this one though. Without living through my moms experience, id say this was no good for sure.

Yes, my order had not shipped yet from BAM, so I contacted them and had two shipments. One of the shipments was for two books that have that signature above while the other shipment of one book has the "normal one" that I see on Ebay ect for resale.

I just had a look on ebay. This is interesting.. did she sign half the amount needed 2 separate times? One when she wasn't feeling right? Or did someone else help her sign these. I watched some of her recent interviews. My mom definitely didn't have her glitches.. she just became very slow at talking and slurred. Everyone will have their own reactions to a serious disease but i wonder if she wasnt hamming it up a bit for publicity. She is an actress after all.. Ill be keeping an eye on all these now. Kinda hits close to home and im hoping she isn't taking advantage of people.

Thanks for your feedback Jason. Sorry to hear about your mum too. That would have been really heard to watch your mum go through that. 

If I had seen more looking different or similar to mine, I would probably be more accepting of what I have.

Thanks Gerry. I never let it get me down. Probably made me take life way more seriously i think all kids adapt to their situations.

I saw one like yours on ebay while browsing through them all.. so there are more out there

That is odd the ones on ebay look like her normal signature. The one above almost looks like she let a kid sign her name, but maybe she wasn't feeling good when she signed it. Pretty sure she's decent about signing so I don't really see her putting out fake stuff unless she just wasn't feeling good enough to sign. I'm not too familiar with MS I couldn't remember what she had, but sorry to hear about your mom, Jason.

Thanks PF.. appreciate it.. it was a long time ago. Im pretty all cried out now lol. Just trying to share my experience as it could give some insight into Selmas autograph and possible changes going forward. I don't believe Annette Funicillos autograph changed at all but I didn't pay much attention to it the last 10 years of her life. Again, everyone is different so probably couldn't compare anyways. This could end up being a tough one to figure out 100%.
