Auction History Result 1a477 JEFF CHANDLER signed 8x10 still '59 head & shoulders portrait wearing great sweater! Date Sold 8/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Jeff Chandler was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1918. He wanted to be an actor, but World War II intervened, and he served as an officer. After the war, he started a career in radio which brought him to the attention of Universal, and soon got the leads in many western and war movies, and also was the male lead in romances to top female stars. He stood out from other "hunky" actors of this time because of his prematurely grey hair. He worked steadily through the 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s, appearing in a total of 48 films, but tragedy struck in 1962 when he was being operated on for a slipped disc, and he died at just 42. His family received a large malpractice award. He received much unfortunate unwanted notoriety in 1999 when his former lover (and co-star) Esther Williams, in her tell-all biography said that Chandler was a cross-dresser! She would later admit privately that she had made it up to sell more books, but there are still likely those who believe this silly lie. Some of his movies include: Broken Arrow (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Return to Peyton Place, and War Arrow. He passed away in 1961 at the age of 42. He had back surgery to repair a slipped disc, and developed blood poisoning. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Jeff Chandler! Note that our consignor purchased a collection of autographed stills that were collected by Leonard Sorgi, who was a unit manager for ABC for shows like The Soupy Sales Show, The Jerry Mahoney Show, and many others. He was also Unit Manager for the Academy Awards for a number of years, and during his long and varied career, he met many celebrities and obtained autographs from them in person (often personalized to him). Our consignor (and we) feel certain that the autograph on this still is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
