Auction History Result 2a549 GEORGE RAFT signed 1.25x2 cut album page '30s can be framed with a repro still! Date Sold 6/19/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 1 1/4" x 2" Cut Album Page (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: This cut album page has been personally autographed (signed) by George Raft. It could be matted with a vintage or repro still and framed together to make a cool display! Note that this item has been trimmed and it now measures 1 1/4" x 2" [3 x 5 cm]. This autograph (and others from this same collection we are offering in separate auctions) comes from the estate of Dorothy Credille, who was a Hollywood publicist in the 1930s to the 1950s. During the course of her work, she became personal friends and an acquaintance of all the top Hollywood stars, and she collected many autographs in an autograph book (as well as some signed 8x10s and 11x14s). Someone took the autograph book and cut out the individual autographs, and this is one of those autographs from that book. We feel certain that it is authentic. Condition: good to very good. The autograph is glued to a heavier piece of paper and has some discoloration. Learn More about condition grades
