BUSTER CRABBE
B/w movie still of Crabbe, as Flash Gordon, peering out of a rock in
a desert with some sidekicks armed with ray guns, signed "All the Best"
by Crabbe in blue ink.
Inscribed photograph signed "To/Dennis/All the Best/from/Buster
Crabbe" in blue ink. B/w, 10x7¾ overall, 9¼x7 image, one surface. Movie
still from a Flash Gordon serial. Crabbe (1908-1983, born Clarence
Linden Crabbe in Oakland, California), who won the Gold Medal in the
400-meter swim at the 1932 Olympic games, went on to star in over 100 adventure
films, many set in outer space (most as Flash Gordon), and the Wild West (as
Billy "the Kid" Carson). In 1933, Crabbe also starred as Tarzan in the
Principal Pictures 16-part serial film. Ironically, in winning his Olympic
medal, Crabbe had broken the record set by MGM's rival Tarzan, Johnny
Weissmuller. Lightly toned, creased and bowed. Errors in negative were
reproduced in photo. Light impressions on photo (not visible head-on). Otherwise
in fine condition.
