He was married to Joan Crawford between 1935 and 1939. He started out as a leading man, but fairly early on, he shifted to playing "the other man" (the one who never got the girl!), and later he seamlessly shifted to playing character roles. Some of his movies include: Mutiny On The Bounty (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Advise & Consent, Bombshell, Phantom Lady, and Five Graves to Cairo. He passed away in 1968 at the age of 63. Important Added Info: This index card has been personally autographed (signed) by Franchot Tone!

Also included is a 1935 EMO Movie Club photo from Mutiny on the Bounty that the index card could be matted and framed together with! In the past, we have called photos like these "picture frame photos", because we thought they were ones that were used as sample portraits in picture frames for sale. While there ARE many photos that are like that, this is not that, as we recently discovered! Photos like this that are on a special paper that has a linen-like finish were originally issued in sets of 12 or more between 1935 and 1938 (at least). We know that there were at least 18 sets issued in 1938 alone, so there were definitely hundreds of different ones of these portraits. They were given out through the "EMO Movie Club", which was based in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and they had an elaborate system whereby you joined the club (and got others to join) and they then gave away and sold these sets to club members. In addition, club members got discounts from various movie theaters. Offered here is one of the EMO Movie Club portraits from the 1930s.
