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. Rogers never won an Academy Award. The Oscar he is holding
was probably the honorary one awarded wife Mary Pickford in 1975. She was
unable to attend the ceremony. His other films include Abie's Irish Rose
(1928), Young Eagles (1930), Golden Hoofs (1941) and his last
starring role, An Innocent Affair (1948). Ink note on verso (no show
through). Slightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
