If I'm not mistaken, I believe she utilized secretaries even in later years and that look like it might not be from her personally.

This is one where some of the vintage film buffs who are not currently active would have some great input.

Certainly a lovely image!

I belive in this one. Looks like one I purchased from a reputable dealer.

I'm not aware of any school of thought that Ms. Fontaine did not sign authentically TTM. This picture is from 1995, the montage from 2008. If these aren't authentic, then JSA and PSA have a whole lot of her authentications wrong because all that I see match up quite well with these. Her signature is quite lovely and distinctive.

This would not be new.

Very true. Too many instances of undiscovered secretarials and the false authentications left behind after discovery.

Have no doubt indeed that most dealers would sell the photo Minnie posted as authentic and that JSA, PSA etc. would give it their stamps of approval as well as many TTMs.   

I'd personally just feel more comfortable finding something from her that looked a bit closer to this page with the green ink or the ALS below it.

Hello Minnie,

Here is a 1939 contract, a 1950 Paramount meal ticket and a 1956 contract.
