Eleanor Williams, Actress, Scrapbook

0.4 Linear Feet Summary: 4 1/2 in. (flat storage box, 3 1/2 in.); (flat storage box, 1 in.)
Scrapbook of Eleanor Winslow Williams, of Clarksburg, West Virginia (born October 16, ca. 1890). Includes correspondence, newspaper clippings, theatrical programs, and photographs regarding Williams and her career as an actress in theaters on and off Broadway. Most of the newspaper clippings are reviews, with some interviews of Williams. Highlights include a letter from Claudette Colbert, with whom she performed in the play The Barker, and a well-wishing note from fellow actress Fanny Brice. Williams was born and raised in Clarksburg and attended King's School of Oratory in the Knoxville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, graduating in 1914. She was recruited into the major league of theater by an agent of New York impresario David Belasco to work with David Warfield. Her career extended into the 1950s, but this scrapbook chiefly covers her work into the early 1930s.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
