Auction History Result 1r0460 PAT O'BRIEN signed deluxe 5x7 still '34 great head & shoulders portrait in suit & tie! Date Sold 8/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Pat O'Brien was born in 1899. The quintessential Irish actor, he was playing the second lead in The Front Page on Broadway, and someone at United Artists, which had just bought the rights, heard he was great in it, but they thought he had the lead role and they offered it to him, and of course he didn't correct them! He soon settled in at Warner Brothers, first playing romantic lead roles, but it wasn't long before he became a secondary star, often playing stereotyped Irish cops and priests. Perhaps his best remembered role was as Father Connelly in Angels With Dirty Faces, where he memorably asks gangster Rocky Sullivan to act "yellow" as he is strapped in the chair, so that kids everywhere wouldn't emulate him and end up where he did. He is also remembered for his roles in Some Like it Hot, and Page Miss Glory. He passed away in 1983 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Pat O'Brien! Our consignor obtained this autograph many years ago in a group of purchases, and he does not remember anymore about it than that, except that he felt it was authentic at that time, and so do we. Also note that this still measures 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. There are some circular dot stains around the edges of the still and a few faint smudges, but they are not in O'Brien's face. Learn More about condition grades
