He appeared in some notable movies over the years (including Wait Until Dark), and in the "Rambo" series opposite Sylvester Stallone, but his primary fame was from his very successful TV series, including Our Miss Brooks, The Real McCoys, and Judging Amy (sadly, his character was about to marry in that show when Mr. Crenna suddenly passed away, and his passing was written into the show). AND Walter Brennan was a great character actor from the 1920s to the 1970s. Amazingly, it took him many years to get beyond playing uncredited roles! He had served in World War I (and supposedly he was exposed to mustard gas, which damaged his vocal chords and caused his distinctive voice!), and then he moved to Los Angeles where he speculated on real estate and made a fortune. But then he went broke, and he turned to movie acting in 1925, where he met struggling actor Gary Cooper, and the two became great friends, trying to get roles at the same time. But unlike Cooper, who became a major star, Brennan spent almost a decade playing very minor roles (often uncredited). In 1932, he had an accident while filming a movie, losing most of his teeth after an actor kicked his face, and from that point on, he played people much older than himself, often hillbillies! But he finally had a major role in Come and Get It (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film) in 1936, and he had major success from then on. Some of his roles include: Kentucky (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), The Westerner (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Red River, Bride of Frankenstein, and My Darling Clementine. He appeared in several movies with Gary Cooper, including Sergeant York (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film) and Meet John Doe. He had much fame later in life as the star of TV's "The Real McCoys". Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Richard Crenna AND Walter Brennan! It was matted together with a nice 8" x 10" REPRO of the actors. Note that our consignor purchased this item in a large collection of memorabilia, and he can provide no information about how the autograph was obtained, but we believe it to be genuine. Condition: good to very good. Whoever cut Walter Brennan's signature out of the album page slightly trimmed the bottom of the signature. Learn More about condition grades
