Johnny Weissmuller was an Austro-Hungarian (now Romania) actor from the 1920s to the 1970s. He was the 1924 Olympic swimming champion, and he set a number of world records, and he never lost a race. In 1940, at the age of 36, he broke his own world record in the 100-yard freestyle, which he had set 13 years earlier, and which stood for another 4 years before finally being broken after 17 years! But of course, he is best remembered for playing Tarzan starting in 1932 (in "Tarzan the Ape Man", followed by "Tarzan and His Mate", and many others!), and later he starred as Jungle Jim in the 1950s. Weissmuller passed away in 1984 at the age of 79. AND Claudette Colbert was a top Hollywood actress from the 1920s to the 1960s. She was born in Paris, but came to New York City as a preteen, and went to public schools. After graduating, she appeared in more than a dozen Broadway plays, and made her first films for Paramount Pictures in their Astoria, Queens studio. She quickly became a star and was soon a major star. Some of her movies include: It Happened One Night (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Midnight, The Palm Beach Story, Bluebeard's Eighth Wife, Cleopatra (the 1934 version, in the title role), Since You Went Away (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Private Worlds (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and scores of others! She passed away in 1996 at the age of 92.

Important Added Info: This album page has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Johnny Weissmuller AND Claudette Colbert (each person signed one side of the page)! It could be matted with a vintage or repro still and framed together to make a cool display (of course, the new owner would have to choose which side to display!). Our consignor is a dealer who purchased this signed item (together with others we are currently auctioning) from the estate of a South American collector who collected signed items and many other collectibles over several decades, and that collector had many extremely valuable items, both signed and unsigned. Our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity, but because they came from the estate of this collector, we think it is extremely likely the signatures are authentic.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes.
