Lauren Bacall Signed 1972 Franklin D. Roosevelt First Day Cover — PSA/DNA Certified

Description:
Original First Day Cover honoring Franklin D. Roosevelt, signed by iconic actress Lauren Bacall, and postmarked Hyde Park, NY, January 30, 1972 — commemorating FDR’s birthday. The envelope features a black-and-white printed portrait of Roosevelt labeled “32nd President – Franklin D. Roosevelt – 1882–1945”, along with three commemorative stamps: one 6¢ Roosevelt stamp and two 1½¢ green memorial stamps, all tied to the Hyde Park cancellation.

Lauren Bacall’s elegant signature appears in blue ink across the lower right quadrant of the envelope as “Lauren Bacall,” clear and well-positioned beneath the stamps and FDR portrait.

The cover is in excellent condition, encapsulated in a tamper-evident PSA/DNA holder labeled:
“FIRST DAY COVER – LAUREN BACALL – AUTHENTIC AUTO – PSA/DNA CERTIFIED”, certification number 85724931.

Historical Context:
Lauren Bacall (1924–2014) was one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actresses, known for her sultry voice, commanding presence, and legendary screen partnership with Humphrey Bogart. A prominent figure of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Bacall starred in classics such as To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, and Key Largo.

Her signature on this 1972 FDR commemorative cover holds deeper meaning — Bacall was a distant cousin of Franklin D. Roosevelt and remained politically active throughout her life. She often voiced support for Democratic causes and maintained a strong admiration for FDR’s legacy, making this autograph on a Roosevelt-themed item especially significant and personal.
