Dave,  You'd better do a lab test to make sure she didn't!.

Truly,  there has never been a person in show business so generous with an 
autograph as Sophie Tucker.  In my years in the book trade,  I imagine I've 
seen at least 200 signed or inscribed copies (usually inscribed) of her 
autobio,  Some of These Days.

She was actually a pioneer in the show biz science of "working the fan 
base."  She also had a huge Xmas card list.

Oh yeah,  she was a great entertainer,  too!
