A popular supporting player of the late 1930s, Leeds was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Stage Door (1937). As she began progressing to more prominent roles, Leeds retired after marrying, and later became a successful horse breeder. Leeds began her film career in 1933, playing bit parts and using her given name Andrea Lees. Under the name Andrea Leeds, she played her first substantial role in the film Come and Get It (1936) and achieved another success with her next film It Could Happen to You (1937). As part of an ensemble cast that included Katharine Hepburn, Ginger Rogers and Lucille Ball, Leeds was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as an aspiring actress in Stage Door (1937).[4] Her wholesome quality led to her being cast in The Goldwyn Follies (1938) playing Miss Humanity, a woman considered by a jaded Hollywood executive to represent the ideal American woman. However, the film was a critical and commercial failure. In 1938, Leeds also read for the role of and did screen tests for the role of Melanie in Gone with the Wind; however the role was given to Olivia de Havilland. She next appeared in two films opposite Joel McCrea (who earlier played her brother in Come and Get It), Youth Takes a Fling (1938) and They Shall Have Music (1939), for the first time playing the lead female role. She continued to play the romantic female lead in an adventure film The Real Glory, opposite Gary Cooper and David Niven, and opposite Don Ameche in Swanee River (1939), the first Technicolor biography of Stephen Foster. Her final film Earthbound (1940) was a fantasy murder mystery in which her character is aided by the ghost of her late husband to solve his murder. Although her films were successful and she remained a popular actress, Leeds retired in late 1939 after marrying. On October 25, 1939, Leeds married Robert Stewart Howard, son of California businessman and racehorse owner Charles S. Howard. Together, they had two children, Robert Jr. and Leann, who died of cancer in 1971. The elder Howard owned and raced Seabiscuit, and with her husband, Leeds became a successful horse owner/breeder. The couple also owned the Howard Manor in Palm Springs, a hotel originally built as the Colonial House by Las Vegas casino owner and Purple Gang member Al Wertheimer. The hotel currently operates as the Colony Palms Hotel, and features the Winner's Circle Suite in honor of Seabiscuit and the Howards. After her husband's death in 1962, Leeds ran a jewelry business. Leeds died at age 70 on May 21, 1984, in Riverside, California. This hand signed item is 100% original and authentic. Furthermore, this item DOES NOT INCLUDE a PSA/DNA or JSA authentication.

We have one of the largest collections of original movie screenplays in the world. We also carry scripts used in Television, Broadway, Radio and other forms of entertainment. Every script that we own was hand-picked one at a time over the many years of which we have been collecting. All of the scripts that we own are original and we do not buy or sell any reproductions or fakes. A lot of people, new to collecting, are confused about the word "Original." In terms of movie scripts, the term "Original" means that it was used by the production company in the early stages of production or that it was issued out to the cast and crew members during filming, and used at the time of production. Any scripts printed or used in any fashion after filming has completed are known as either a reproduction or a post-production script. These two types of scripts are much less valuable and desirable. All of our scripts are "Original." • An original movie script has a lot of character in the item itself and every one of them is different in some way or another. There is usually only one script given to each crew member during production, however, sometimes they do get more than one. This makes original movie scripts very desirable because of how scarce they are. Any changes made to the screenplay during production are known as revisions and these revision pages are inserted into that one script that was issued out to them. For example, if we are talking about a low-budget film with a small cast and only a few crew members, there are actually only a small number of scripts in existence around the world for that film. This aspect of collecting makes it fun but also difficult because there may be a certain writer or director that you love to collect and there may only be a handful of movie scripts that still exist from that specific film that you are looking for. We have some of the rarest movie scripts in the world. Each film project has a different total number of scripts that are issued. The older a film is you also have to figure in the fact that a lot of the original movie scripts have been thrown out or destroyed over time. We do our best to provide the widest selection of original movie scripts in the world. Whatever actor, producer, director, writer or specific film department you are looking for, we probably have a movie script related to the person you are looking for in some form or fashion. We are constantly adding new movie scripts to our eBay store as often as we can. Please, be patient and really go through all of the listings that we have, and I am sure that you will find something that you love. I know that there are a lot of items to search through, but there is definitely something for you. THIS IS IMPORTANT. When searching for an item in our eBay store, you can either search the "title of the movie" or the "writer's name" from that movie for best results. Furthermore, there is a small box that says "Include Description" which is underneath of the large eBay search box. Once you check off this little box it will allow you to search for a specific word that is contained in any of our listings' actual description. Most of our listings DO NOT include the Actor's name anywhere in the title line or description, so please, do your research beforehand to see what film titles you are looking for from a specific Actor, or Writer, but be sure to search for the "movie title" when looking through our eBay listings. Another search option is to click on my eBay store logo which will bring you to my eBay store page. Here all of the original movie scripts will be categorized by decade, which will help you to narrow down what you are looking for by the year it was made.
