Auction History Result 1r0945 FRANK SINATRA/GENE KELLY signed 8x10 REPRO still '90s great c/u dancing in sailor suits! Date Sold 8/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Frank Sinatra (born Francis Albert Sinatra) was a legendary singer of the 1940s, who became a major movie star that same decade, and continued singing and acting for many years. Some of his movies include: many MGM musicals (some with Gene Kelly), as well as dramatic roles like The Man With The Golden Arm (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Manchurian Candidate, and From Here To Eternity (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). He, along with his best friends, were known as The Rat Pack, and he was the inspiration for the "Johnny Fontaine" character in the Godfather movies! AND Gene Kelly (born Eugene Curran Kelly) was a famous musical and dance star (but he also appeared in straight dramatic roles) from the 1940s through the 1990s. Together with Fred Astaire, he is one of the two best remembered stars of dancing musicals, and yet he was far from an overnight success. He made his first movie in 1942, "For Me and My Gal", when he was 30 years old, and for most of the 1940s, he did not make many appearances in musicals. Between 1948 and 1951, he appeared in several memorable musicals, but he and his wife, Betsy Blair, were caught up in the blacklisting scandals of the early 1950s, and while he himself was not blacklisted, it did hurt his career. Some of his movies include: Singin' in the Rain, Inherit the Wind, On the Town, An American in Paris, Anchors Aweigh (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and scores of others! Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by BOTH Frank Sinatra AND Gene Kelly! Note that our consignor has been an autograph collector for many decades! He started when he was a teenager, going to stage shows and other places where he could find celebrities, and he would bring photos for them to sign, and over the years, he has continued this in many different locations, and he has an immense collection of signed items (he has also traded some of his for others, but only when he feels he is surely getting genuine ones!), and he has consigned a small portion of his collection to this set of auctions! We feel certain all of his signed items are authentic. Condition: fair. The REPRO became wet at one time and it caused both signatures to slightly fade and bleed, and there is much emulsion loss throughout the entire REPRO. Please do not bid on this REPRO unless you can accept its defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
