An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 7 1/2" x 10 1/4" [19 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Charles Boyer was a French actor from the 1920s to the 1990s. He was a college graduate with a philosophy degree, and he appeared in a few movies in his early 20s. He had greater success in talking movies, thanks to his distinctive French accent (which Chuck Jones "borrowed" for his character Pepe Le Pew), but he had his greatest success in Hollywood in the early 1940s, when many of the top U.S. stars were away in World War II. Some of his movies include: Gaslight (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Algiers (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), All This and Heaven Too, Conquest (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Fanny (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and Love Affair. He was married to actress Pat Paterson for 44 years! Boyer passed away in 1978 at the age of 78. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Charles Boyer! Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 1/2" x 10 1/4" [19 x 26 cm]. About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer consigned these autographed items to us, and we have auctioned almost all of them in our previous signed auctions. The remaining items we are auctioning for this consignor were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. Part of the left and right blank borders were trimmed off. Learn More about condition grades
