An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) George Burns was a legendary comedy actor in radio and film from the 1930s to the 1990s. He is well known for his radio show with his wife Gracie Allen (The Burns & Allen Show) from 1934 to 1950, which moved to TV in 1950, and ran until 1958, and was one of the most creative and innovative TV shows ever! He appeared in in a number of movies with Gracie in the 1930s and 1940s. Gracie passed away in 1964, and he had a successful solo career in such movies as Oh God!, The Sunshine Boys (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and Going in Style. He passed away in 1996 at the age of 100. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by George Burns! Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from , but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1970s on. He purchased the signed photos that were in the inventory of a long running Hollywood memorabilia store, and he has consigned a large number of them to us, and we are auctioning them here, including this item. The store would get items signed when celebrities visited them, and they also bought collections of signed items, but of course only when they were convinced that they were genuine! Both we and our consignor feel it is extremely likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
