An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 26 3/4" x 39 1/2") (Learn More) Robert Taylor (born Spangler Arlington Brugh) was a handsome leading man from the 1930s to the 1960s, who barely seemed to age! He was born in 1911 in Nebraska, and in high school he was a star athlete, a cello player, and a debate champion. He intended to become a musician, but in college he joined a theater group and he was given lead roles. In 1934, he was signed by MGM to a contract, and the next year he had his big break in the first version of "Magnificent Obsession", opposite Irene Dunne. The following year, he starred opposite Greta Garbo in "Camille", and he was a great favorite with female moviegoers. He remained with MGM for 24 years, interrupted by a 4 year stint in the U.S. Naval Air Corps during World War II. In the 1930s, he raised and bred race horses! From 1939 to 1952, he was married to Barbara Stanwyck, and from 1954 until he passed away he was married to Ursula Theiss. Because he aged really well, he was able to play leading roles until the end of his career, when he switched to TV. Taylor passed away in 1969 at the age of 57. Artist: Aberg Important Added Info: Note that this is a Swedish "stock" poster created by MGM for use by Swedish theaters showing their 1930s Robert Taylor movies. Theaters would order this poster and use it whenever they were showing a Robert Taylor movie. Condition: very good . The poster was mounted onto a very thin linen, and the excess linen was folded over and glued to the front of the top and bottom borders, and two small hanging devices were attached to the top left and top right. This was likely done by the poster's creator before it was distributed to theaters, because they knew the poster would be used over and over, and backing it helped the poster to last for multiple uses.
