Auction History Result 7s973 RAYMOND BURR signed 8x10 publicity still 1987 head & shoulders portrait in Underground play! Date Sold 7/8/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Publicity Still (Learn More) Raymond Burr was an actor from the 1940s to the 1990s. He is best remembered for his long-running role as TV's "Perry Mason", but he had important roles in two very memorable film, Godzilla: King of the Monsters (the 1956 U.S. version) and Rear Window (in a memorable role as Thorwald, the man who may or may not have killed his wife and buried her in the courtyard). Because he lived at a time when revealing his sexuality would have ended his career, Burr kept his homosexuality secret from the general public throughout his life, but it was an open secret amongst his friends, and it was revealed after his passing in 1993 at the age of 76. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Raymond Burr! Note that this signed item is from the estate of Gino Empry, who was a legendary Toronto publicist and agent from the early 1960s through the early 2000s (he passed away in 2006). He had publicity photos of celebrities he worked with that were personalized to him and signed attached to his walls, and many of those were consigned to us, and while we have no certificate of authenticity, we are 100% certain they are authentic (although many have some damage that was caused by their being attached to a wall or being roughly removed). Also note that many celebrities kept multiple 8" x 10" (or smaller) copies of good publicity images of themselves to sign for fans, and also many memorabilia shops sold such copy stills themselves. While they are not original theater-used stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of that celebrity in their heyday, which, when signed by the celebrity, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! 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: fair to good. The signature is difficult to read because of it being written on Burr's shoulder, but it can be clearly read when it is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
