He was star football player in college, and when he graduated, he was signed to a contract by MGM. He initially naturally appeared in sports movies, and graduated to the leads in some A-movies, but in 1930, he starred in "Billy the Kid", and he soon was typecast in westerns, and by the late 1930s, Johnny was solely making B-westerns, mostly for Monogram Pictures, and he was one of the most successful cowboy stars of the 1940s. Some of his movies include: Apache Uprising, Short Grass, and Hollywood Halfbacks. He passed away in 1974 at the age of 70.

Studios stopped sending these great photos at some point in the very early 1930s, likely because of the Great Depression and their need to cut back on expenses! Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who (together with his wife) has been a collector and dealer in autographs for decades! Over those years they obtained a huge number of autographed items through the mail, and they also attended events where they could obtain autographs in person, and they also set up as dealers at collectible shows, where they would buy autographs and sell and trade some of their own. Over the years, they developed friendships with some of the celebrities they obtained autographs from, sometimes acquiring memorabilia of a particular celebrity that they would send to them as a gift, as a thank you for you the many autographs they obtained (in many cases, the items are personalized to either our consignor, or to his wife, or to both of them). If we know any information about how this specific item was obtained, it is written above. But in general, we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity. Condition: good. The photo has a crease across the middle and was lightly partially folded down the middle. Learn More about condition grades
