Auction History Result 2a150 GEORGE RAFT signed 10.75x14 still '30s great full-length portrait in suit by Irving Lippman! Date Sold 6/19/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) George Raft (born George Ranft) was a legendary tough guy actor (specializing in crime and film noir roles) from the 1920s to the 1980s. Like James Cagney, he actually WAS born in a tough neighborhood in New York City, so his tough guy persona was honestly earned! Note that he first appeared in movies in minor roles in 1929, but it took three years and seven movies before he got his big break in Howard Hughes' "Scarface" (where he played Paul Muni's coin-flipping henchman). After that, he was rushed into six movies in the rest of 1932 alone, and he remained a major star (mostly in gangster roles) for many years. Some of his other movies include: Each Dawn I Die, Manpower, If I Had a Million, They Drive by Night, and Some Like It Hot (in a great cameo where he played a parody of his earlier gangster roles). He passed away in 1980 at the age of 79. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by George Raft! Note that our consignor has been a film historian and book writer and editor for 35 years, and is an expert on autographs. He purchased this from the estate of a longtime autograph collector, and he (and we) are 100% certain it is authentic. Also note that this still measures 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good to fine. There is a tiny pair of staple holes in the top center, but otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
