Auction History Result 1a724 ELI WALLACH signed 8x10 REPRO still '80s head & shoulders portrait of the great actor! Date Sold 8/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Eli Wallach was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1915. He became a Broadway actor after World War II and won a Tony Award in 1951 in Tennessee Williams play "The Rose Tattoo". But Broadway didn't quite know what to do with this fine actor, and he made many TV appearances until he got his big break in Elia Kazan's Baby Doll in 1956. He followed this up two years later with the starring role in Don Siegel's ultra-gritty film noir The Lineup (one of the last of this genre and an excellent movie), but Hollywood too did not know what to do with him, and he did mostly TV in the 1950s. In 1960 he had perhaps his most memorable role, as Calvera in The Magnificent Seven. It seemed this fine Jewish actor had finally found his niche, playing a Mexican bandit leader! He continued with movies, and in 1966 he starred opposite Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef in Sergio Leone's classic Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly). The following year he played Mr. Freeze on the Batman TV show, and he settled in as one of the premier character actors, making some 120 appearances since that time. He passed away in 2014 at the age of 98. One of his best films was in Barry Primus' underrated Mistress, from 1992, with Robert Wuhl, Robert De Niro, Danny Aiello, Martin Landau, and many other fine actors and actresses, and I highly recommend it. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by Eli Wallach! Our consignor is a very longtime collector of movie paper who regularly attended the Chiller collectible show. This signed item (and the others offered from this collector) were purchased at a Chiller convention over the years. In some cases, he had them signed by the celebrity when they appeared in person at the show, and in other cases, he purchased them from Kevin Clement, who runs the Chiller shows, and in all cases, he (and we) believe this signature is authentic. Condition: very good to fine. This REPRODUCTION is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
