An Original Vintage English Stage Play Program Book (measures 5" x 8" [13 x 20 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Paul Muni was a noted Jewish stage and film actor (born in Austria-Hungary, in what is now known as Ukraine) from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Valiant (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Scarface, I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Good Earth, Black Fury (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Life Of Emile Zola (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Angle on My Shoulder, The Story Of Louis Pasteur (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and Juarez. He became disenchanted with Hollywood, and pretty much left in the early 1940s to perform on the Broadway stage, where he originated the lead role in "Inherit the Wind". He returned to the screen for one last triumph in The Last Angry Man (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). He passed away in 1967 at the age of 71. Artist: Joseph Hirsch Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Paul Muni! Note that I had never heard of this production until I saw this program, but apparently, Elia Kazan traveled to England and staged this version of "Death of a Salesman" with Paul Muni as Willy Loman, Kevin McCarthy as Biff, and Katharine Alexander as Linda! I certainly wish I could have seen this production! The person who saw this version of the play in London saw Paul Muni after the play and had him autograph a page from his address book, and he removed the page later and stored it with the program (he added "Paul Muni in person" in tiny letters on the back of the autographed page). The high bidder on this lot receives both the autographed page and the program. Condition: very good. There is some sort of sticker that appears to have the seat number printed on it that was attached to the program in the middle of the right of the front and back cover.
