Murphy/Ambassador Hotel/October 1948". Charles "Buddy" Rogers (1904-1999) played
with a California-based swing band in the 1930s, but was better known for his
films. He debuted in the silent film Wings (1927), which won the
first-ever Oscar as best picture. That same year the actor who would be known
at the peak of his popularity as "America's Boyfriend" was paired with
"America's Sweetheart", Mary Pickford, in My Best Girl. In 1937, Rogers
became Pickford's third and last husband. In later years he would often act
as spokesman for his increasingly reclusive wife. His other films include
Abie's Irish Rose (1928), Young Eagles (1930), Golden Hoofs
(1941) and his last starring role, An Innocent Affair (1948). Slightly
creased and soiled. Mounting tape remnants at each corner. Otherwise, fine
condition.
