An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Sabu Dastagir was an Indian actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was found during location shooting for The Elephant Boy (at the time, he was the ward of the royal elephant stables), and immediately recruited by United Artists to become their star! Some of his movies include: Jungle Book, Black Narcissus, and The Thief of Bagdad (where he played Abu, the thief, son of Abu the Thief, and grandson of Abu the Thief). When his film career wound down at the end of the 1940s, he tried his hand at other things, including appearing in a circus act as "Sabu the Elephant Boy". He signed a contract to star in a movie in India, but he was denied a work permit, so he never got to make a movie in his native country. In the early 1960s, he was still extremely healthy, and yet he passed away in 1963 at the age of 39 from a heart attack. According to his widow, actress Marilyn Cooper, Sabu had a complete physical just a few days before his death, at which time his doctor told him, "If all my patients were as healthy as you, I'd be out of business." Condition: very good. Someone neatly wrote Sabu's name in white paint in the bottom left corner of the image, but the still is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
