Robert Cummings (also known as Bob Cummings) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. He was born Charles Clarence Robert Orville Cummings in Joplin, Missouri in 1910, and he went to drama school and went to New York and passed himself off as a British actor named Blade Stanhope Conway! Amazingly, that worked, and then he went to Hollywood, where he thought they wouldn't want a British actor, so he became Texan Bruce Hutchens! After having a number of small parts in 1935 and 1936, he reverted to his real name, and became a popular comedic actor in the 1930s and 1940s (although he was very memorable in two Alfred Hitchcock movies, "Dial M For Murder" and "Saboteur"), and he is likely best remembered for starring in the extremely popular "The Bob Cummings Show" TV series of the 1950s and 1960s. He was well known for his extremely youthful appearance, which he attributed to eating healthy food and a lot of vitamin supplements. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 80, having had five wives and seven children!

Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Robert Cummings! Our consignor purchased a collection of signed photos that were acquired by a man named Fred Owesney. Mr. Owesney went to New York City in the late 1940s and got jobs in the theater, and during that time, he acquired signed photos from a number of the people he worked with. In the early 1950s, he moved back to Steubenville, Ohio, but he stayed in contact through the mail with many of the celebrities he had known in New York City, some of whom went on to significant careers, and he visited New York many times in the 1950s, and he saw shows and many of the celebrities he saw gave him signed photos, and he also acquired some signed photos through the mail. This is one of the photos from Mr. Owesney's collection. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature is surely authentic. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock.
