An Autographed Contract Agreement (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More)

Dana Andrews was an actor from the 1940s to the 1990s. He was born in 1909, and he was far from an "overnight success". He had many non-entertainment jobs before getting work at the Pasadena Playhouse (and training as an opera singer!). He was signed by Goldwyn in 1939, but it was two years before he got significant roles, and even those were pretty minor. He became a major star when World War II started, probably because most of the younger leading men were off at war, and he starred in some very memorable early 1940s movies, including several with Gene Tierney. But he became an alcoholic, and that severely hurt his career. In 1963, he became President of the Screen Actors Guild and served for two years. Some of his movies include: The Best Years of Our Lives, Laura, Tobacco Road, Belle Starr, and The Ox-Bow Incident. Sadly, Andrews suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years, and passed away in 1992 at the age of 83.
Important Added Info: Note that this contract agreement has been personally autographed (signed) by Dana Andrews! The agreement was created by Samuel Goldwyn and sent to Dana Andrews, and he had to sign it, noting it was "confirmed and approved".

Note that this is one of a wonderful group of nine similar contract agreements we were consigned, which we are auctioning in nine separate auctions. Our consignor purchased them decades ago from a reputable dealer, and given that they are contracts which MUST be signed by the actual person, we feel 100% certain they all have genuine autographs, although none have certificates 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 (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) 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.
