I don't know what the folks you listed below but I know for a fact that Caroll Baker, Dorothy Lamour and many other names had a side business going in celebrity magazines in which you paid about $25 for an autographed photo. I recall too that someone had a "limited" collectible poster and photo business in which stars like Mae West would sign about 500 posters and get a percentage of sales. So it's been done for a whiole. FRANC
