Authenticity is Everything
Vivien Leigh
This one looks good to me, but it never hurts to get a second opinion, as her graph isn't all that common?Thanks!

Do you think she is still that desirable and forged Eric? Obviously anything connected with Gone With The Wind is hot property and attractive to forgers but I'm not so sure about her desirability in general.
As I have three of hers I may be shooting myself in the foot but I have the feeling that she may be seen as a bit "old hat" these days - except in a GWTW context. Someone like Judy Garland, of a similar era, seems to have retained her "specialness" much more somehow.
I don't actively search for Viv's autograph anymore but when I do see examples up for auction at "proper auctions" they rarely seem to be fakes. I guess there may be a lot of fakes on eBay but I don't have her in my weekly searches.

Take a peek at her SP's. She was once forged as Lugosi and Lee. Today I don't know but I have seen several forgeries of her.

Today's forgers could care less about Vivien Leigh. Although there have been many forgeries in the past. They exist. Especially if associated with GWTW items. As for this particular signature in the discussion, it has all the signs of being authentic.

All right, since I've brought a lot of interest by posting this thread, I thought I'd throw in another one. Here's a dual signed Vivien Leigh with her husband Lawrence Olivier! I also believe this to be authentic, but more importantly, do you feel that their signatures being together on this one, does this increase the value of the piece somewhat, knowing their relationship, or not really, in your opinion? Thanks again!

Looks fine to me.
I wouldn't say that having Larry along makes a huge difference either way. They signed plenty together.
Being just a signed page and pretty common I wouldn't pay a lot for it myself.

The story of the relationship between Vivien and Lawrence makes for interesting study. There seems to be as many of their dual signed items as individual signed items. For all Olivier's extreme talents, his autograph value and demand does not compare with Vivien's. In my opinion, dual signed pieces add very little, if any, premium.

That is a decent example. They generated a lot of rather good preprints of single and dual signed items - nice to see this.

Thanks again to all who replied! Oddly enough, the second example went for three times what I paid for the original Vivien Leigh? Luck of the draw I guess? Haha
So, are there no fans of Doris Day out there as well? I posted what I hope is a genuine example last week ;)

It was a very nice and clean example with strong signatures from each, and it appeared in excellent condition as well. There are a number of Old Vic playbill images of the two onstage that would mat well with such a dual autograph.
