An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Walter Pidgeon was an actor from the late 1920s silents and early talkies, moving on to great character roles in 1950s movies such as Forbidden Planet through the 1970s with television roles. He was born in 1897, and started making silent movies and appearing on the stage in the mid 1920s, but he had limited success. He had a wonderful speaking voice, but that did not lead to stardom in early sound movies. Finally, in 1937, at the age of 40, MGM put him under contract, but still limited him to supporting roles. His "big break" finally came in 1941 with How Green Was My Valley, and he became one of MGM's top stars of the early 1940s (no doubt helped by so many other male stars being away at war). He stayed with MGM for the remainder of his career. Some of his movies include: Forbidden Planet, Madame Curie (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Mrs. Miniver (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Advise and Consent, The Bad and the Beautiful, Man Hunt, Command Decision, and Funny Girl! He passed away in 1984 at the age of 87. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Walter Pidgeon! Also note that this still measures 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. 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. There are some minor creases and scuffs around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
