Errol Flynn was one of Hollywood's leading action stars of the late 1930s and 1940s. Though his private life contained sexual scandals (most famously his statutory rape trial, in which he was acquitted and which gave the world the phrase "In like Flynn"!), he is best remembered by movie buffs for his roles in great Warner Bros. pictures like: The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood, Gentleman Jim, and many more classics! He passed away in 1959 at the age of 50. AND Glenn Ford was born Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada in 1916. When he was eight, his family moved to Santa Monica, California. After acting in a road company, he was signed to a contract by Columbia Pictures in 1939 (that same year they signed William Holden, and they made similar movies over the next few years, sometimes appearing together). Ford made 14 movies between 1939 and 1943, but nothing all that memorable, and he had enlisted in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Reserve in 1942, and he stopped making movies for the duration of the war. In 1943, while still in the Marines, he married actress Eleanor Powell, who was far more famous than he, and they had a son, Peter (who was Ford's only child, and who, many years later, would collect many posters on his dad's movies!). After the war, he had a major breakout role in Gilda in 1946, opposite Rita Hayworth. While everyone mostly just remembers Hayworth's super sexy sheath dress and sultry singing, the movie finally got Ford noticed, but it would be several years before he got more substantial roles (he would appear in two similar movies with Hayworth, The Loves of Carmen and Affair in Trinidad, but neither had the success of Gilda). Ford was one of those actors who aged extremely well (like Robert Mitchum and John Wayne) and who actually had more appeal when he reached his mid 30s than he had ten years earlier! In 1953 he starred in Fritz Lang's ultra gritty film noir, The Big Heat (the movie where Gloria Grahame has scalding hot coffee thrown in her face by Lee Marvin). Lang, Ford, and Grahame would reunite two years later in Human Desire, but it did not have the success of The Big Heat. In 1955, Ford starred in the schoolteacher classic, Blackboard Jungle. In the 1950s and 1960s, Ford alternated between romantic comedies like The Courtship of Eddie's Father and action movies (often westerns). In 1971 he starred in a TV series Cade's County. His roles became fewer in the later 1970s. He played "Pa Kent" in Superman in 1978. His last film appearances were in 1991, and he passed away in 2006. Glenn Ford was a solid performer who appeared in movies in seven different decades, but was often overshadowed by his co-stars. His career started out very similar to that of William Holden, but unlike Holden, Ford did not have some breakout hits in the 1960s that gave his career a resurgence, and he was never really a "superstar", but he left behind a great body of work that includes some very enjoyable films and performances! He passed away in 2006 at the age of 90. AND Rob Reiner is an actor since the 1950s, a writer since the 1960s, and a producer/director since the 1970s. Some of his best films were The Princess Bride, Stand by Me, This Is Spinal Tap, and Misery. But to people of a certain age, he will always be best remembered as Michael 'Meat Head' Stivic on TV's "All in the Family". As of 2024, Rob is still alive at the age of 77! AND Danny Thomas was an actor from the 1940s to the 1990s. He is perhaps best remembered for his role as Danny Williams in the popular television series "Make Room for Daddy". He is the father of Margo Thomas, and he is a founder of the St. Jude's Hospital, which does wonderful work for children with all sorts of diseases. Some of his movies include: Big City, Call Me Mister, I'll See You in My Dreams, and The Jazz Singer. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 79.

Important Added Info: Note that this lot consists of four cut canceled checks, each personally autographed (signed) by one of the following stars: Errol Flynn, Glenn Ford, Rob Reiner, AND Danny Thomas! Also note that the lot comes with a "letter of authenticity" from Beckett Authentication Services. This was something that Beckett did for a while, where they sold four autographs at a time in what they called "Celebrity Quads". Each one is just like this with four autographs together and they assigned a single certification number to all four of them, and you can look up that number on their website and see the information about these. This item was sent to the purchaser in a special envelope from Beckett printed with information about their company and with the item, the letter, and two cardboards within the envelope.
