An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Johnny Weissmuller was an 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 AND 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, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Advise and Consent, The Private Life of Henry VIII, and Island of Lost Souls. He was married for many years to Elsa Lanchester, although he was 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! Important Added Info: We don't know any of the history behind this still, but it certainly is a great image, and we wonder why these two stars came together! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There is slight uneven discoloration within the image, as well as tiny paper loss, tiny creases, and faint smudges in the borders, but the still is otherwise in pretty good condition.
