British actor Brian Aherne (1902-1986) made his first U.S. appearance on
the Broadway stage in The Barrets of Wimpole Street (1931). He starred
opposite such leading ladies as Marlene Dietrich, Helen Hayes, Rosalind Russell
and Merle Oberon and received an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of
doomed Emperor Maximillian in Juarez (1939). He played The
Saint Simon Templar on radio in the 1940s. Aherne was married to actress
Joan Fontaine from 1939 to 1945. This photograph is from the collection of
Francis and Violet Zane, Hawaii natives who moved to California in the
1920's. Francis Zane had a job at the historic Curran Theater and the San
Francisco Opera House, which is where he began his massive collection, with
photographs and materials ranging from the 1920's to 1960's. The location
and luck of his occupation would land him smack dab in the middle of the
celebrity world, allowing him to capture some of the most unique and interesting
pieces of Hollywood History. Corners lightly worn and creased. Lightly bowed.
Slightly toned. Otherwise, fine condition.
