<p>Thanks, KaiMi. Taylor is an interesting signer I've come to find out. At first, I thought that the one in my original post might have been real. Like Tyrone Power, RT's signature did change around the time of WWII. Here's an early signed photo from around 1938 that is quicker (on a Hurrell image). He became a huge star for MGM after MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION and it seems most of his 'signed' photos of the mid-30's-40's are secretarial. This one is from his hand:…</p>

<p>I'm not too familiar with Taylor, I know his rushed in-person sigs and this might be the slowlier written version. Does anybody have a secured secretary version for comparison?</p>

<p>Thank you, David. I appreciate you coming in and I'm agreed. He's more of a rarity in authentic signed photos than I had suspected before digging a bit.</p>

<p>Thanks, Garrett...the more I look at other examples, I doubt this one too. I'm very skeptical of the vast majority of signed Taylor photos (and signed typed letters) that I've seen.</p>
