I would appreciate feedback on this signature in Marlon Brando's autobiography I recently purchased. According to the original seller, it was acquired from Paul Henning's estate.

If you buy before doing the homework, take a few signature photos (some sigs change with the celebrity's aging) with you. Judy Garland's autograph changed a lot as she got older and after a ton of sigs given, for instance. A jeweler's loupe or even a big magnifying glass is mandatory! I found a Shirley Temple sig and it looked fine just looking at it, but when I checked it out with the loupe, it was made from TINY DOTS!! A total print.
It takes a lot to be sure but worth it as there's a LOT of fakes out there and getting worse.
Enjoy and good luck! It's a fun hobby/living!
