Auction History Result 5b0076 STAN LAUREL signed 3x6 postcard 1961 wishing a friend a Merry Xmas & lots of good health! Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Autographed 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" [8 x 14 cm] Postcard (Learn More) Stan Laurel (born Arthur Stanley Jefferson) was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. He, along with his partner Oliver Hardy, is best remembered as part of the great comedy team "Laurel and Hardy". He had a solo career in the early 1920s, but in 1926, he joined with Hardy (who had been a major star in the mid 1910s), and they made many legendary movies, including Sons of the Desert, Way Out West, Big Business, Helpmates, The Music Box, Tit for Tat, Towed in a Hole, Them Thar Hills, and Liberty. He passed away in 1965 at the age of 74. In 2019, a film biography, "Stan & Ollie", starring John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan, was released, and while it did what most film biographies did, which is to play fast and loose with the truth, it was generally very well received and one can only hope it will cause new generations to seek out this classic duo's wonderful movies (both features and shorts)! Important Added Info: Note that this postcard has been personally autographed (signed) by Stan Laurel! Note that this postcard comes from the estate of an Australian collector, Raymond Bell. Mr. Bell and his wife visited the United States in the early 1960s, and they met Stan Laurel in person, and they formed a friendship that continued after they returned to Australia, and they corresponded with Mr. Laurel until his passing in 1965 (in the case of this card, he sent it to Raymond Bell's wife and addressed it to "Mrs. Bell").
