Date Sold 7/9/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 49 Dennis O'keefe 8x10 stills. Dennis O'Keefe (born Edward Vance Flanagan) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. He was about as far from an overnight success as you could be! He was born in 1908 in Iowa to vaudevillian parents, and he tried to break into films in the late 1920s under his birth name combined with his nickname, "Bud" Flanagan. Starting in 1930, he appeared in dozens of movies each year as an uncredited extra (usually as a tough guy). In 1937, he met Clark Gable while an extra on "Saratoga", and Gable liked what he saw and put in a good word for O'Keefe, and MGM signed him to a contract, at which point they renamed him "Dennis O'Keefe". But he didn't get many good roles at MGM, and when his contract expired in 1940, he became a freelancer and had three memorable roles in the 1940s, "Topper Returns" in 1941, "The Leopard Man" in 1943, and "T-Men" in 1947 (which O'Keefe was the co-screenwriter on). He also worked on radio starting in the mid 1940s. A longtime smoker, he passed away from lung cancer in 1968, at the age of 60. Note that the items in this lot are mostly from the 1930s to the 1950s. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Note that these stills were consigned to us from the family of Ken Jones, who was an author of books about movies (including books about character actors and western stars). In the course of researching his books, he bought lots and lots of stills, and he kept them arranged by the actors who appeared in them (often B-actors, because he would write about them and use the stills to illustrate what he wrote). The stills offered here come from Ken Jones' collection and are originals he bought many decades ago! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
