Auction History Result 2a275 CHARLES LAUGHTON signed deluxe 8x10 still '36 head & shoulders portrait as Rembrandt! Date Sold 6/19/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Charles Laughton was an English actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He appeared on the stage in England beginning in 1926, and he appeared in a few movie shorts in the 1920s, but his acting career really did not begin until 1931. Some of his movies include: Witness for the Prosecution, Spartacus, Mutiny On The Bounty (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Advise and Consent, The Private Life Of Henry VIII (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and Island of Lost Souls. He was married for many years to Elsa Lanchester, although he was reportedly gay. He directed a single movie, "Night of the Hunter", and because it was not financially successful, he never directed another, which is a real shame, because that movie is considered a major classic by most critics! Laughton passed away in 1962 at the age of 63. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Charles Laughton! Also note that this is a deluxe 8x10 still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. Condition: good. The signature was written in a brown ink fountain pen that unfortuantely was too close to the background area. You can read the writing from close up, but it is very difficult to read from a distance. The still has slightly darkened. There are two tiny tears in the lower left corner and a few tiny stains in the lower right blank border. Learn More about condition grades
