Auction History Result 1h495 ROBERT CUMMINGS signed deluxe 8x10 still 1940s great head & shoulders smiling portrait! Date Sold 10/28/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Robert Cummings (also known as Bob Cummings) was an actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. He was born Charles Clarence Robert Orville Cummings in Joplin, Missouri in 1910, and he went to drama school and went to New York and passed himself off as a British actor named Blade Stanhope Conway! Amazingly, that worked, and then he went to Hollywood, where he thought they wouldn't want a British actor, so he became Texan Bruce Hutchens! After having a number of small parts in 1935 and 1936, he reverted to his real name, and became a popular comedic actor in the 1930s and 1940s (although he was very memorable in two Alfred Hitchcock movies, "Dial M For Murder" and "Saboteur"), and he is likely best remembered for starring in the extremely popular "The Bob Cummings Show" TV series of the 1950s and 1960s. He was well known for his extremely youthful appearance, which he attributed to eating healthy food and a lot of vitamin supplements. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 80, having had five wives and seven children! Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Robert Cummings! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this item was consigned to us from the family of Ken Jones, who was an author of books about movies (including books about character actors and western stars). In the course of researching his books, he became friends with many Hollywood actors, and he would ask them to autograph stills for him (originals if he had them, or repros if he did not), and they obliged, usually returning the stills to him with a personalized inscription "To Ken". In the case of this still, he likely purchased it autographed, because it is not autographed to him. The family does not have a letter of authenticity for this signed item, but we feel certain it is authentic, given Mr. Jones' personal relationship with the star. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good.
