Date Sold 8/14/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Robert Cummings (also known as Bob Cummings) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. He was born Charles Clarence Robert Orville Cummings in Joplin, Missouri in 1910, and he went to drama school and went to New York and passed himself off as a British actor named Blade Stanhope Conway! Amazingly, that worked, and then he went to Hollywood, where he thought they wouldn't want a British actor, so he became Texan Bruce Hutchens! After having a number of small parts in 1935 and 1936, he reverted to his real name, and became a popular comedic actor in the 1930s and 1940s (although he was very memorable in two Alfred Hitchcock movies, "Dial M For Murder" and "Saboteur"), and he is likely best remembered for starring in the extremely popular "The Bob Cummings Show" TV series of the 1950s and 1960s. He was well known for his extremely youthful appearance, which he attributed to eating healthy food and a lot of vitamin supplements. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 80, having had five wives and seven children! Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Robert Cummings! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that our consignor purchased a collection of autographed stills that were collected by Leonard Sorgi, who was a unit manager for ABC for shows like The Soupy Sales Show, The Jerry Mahoney Show, and many others. He was also Unit Manager for the Academy Awards for a number of years, and during his long and varied career, he met many celebrities and obtained autographs from them in person (often personalized to him). Our consignor (and we) feel certain that the autograph on this still is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. There are a few minor creases scattered in the still, but they are only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
