CHARLES D. COBURN
The Academy Award-winning stage and screen actor signs this 3½x5 photograph with an
inscription to a fan
Inscribed photograph signed: “To/Evelyn/with best wishes/Charles Coburn” in dark blue ink.
Facsimile signature on bottom edge. 3½x5. Broadway actor, producer and director Charles
Douville Coburn (1877-1961), with his wife, Iva Wells, led a Shakespearean company, the
Coburn Shakespeare Players, from 1906 to 1937. Only after her death did he close the
company and move to Hollywood. Coburn did not appear in his first feature film (Of
Human Hearts) until 1938, when he was 61. In 1940, he portrayed Dr. Henry Gordon, who
unjustly amputated Drake McHugh's (Ronald Reagan) legs in Kings Row, resulting in the
future President's greatest screen line (and title of his first autobiography): "Where's the rest of
me?” Coburn was nominated for three Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (1941,
The Devil and Miss Jones; 1943, The More the Merrier; 1946, The Green Years), winning in
1943. Bowed. Corners rounded. Bottom left corner creased. Ink note (unknown hand) and
mounting residue on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
