Small 5x7 sepia-toned photo of Oscar-winning actor Charles Coburn in
white suit with a monocle, cane and hat, signed "Good Luck" in blue
ink
Inscribed photograph signed "To/Patricie/Good Luck/Charles
Coburn" in blue ink. B/w sepia-toned, 5x7 overall, 4½x6½ image, one surface,
printed on cardstock. Broadway actor, producer and director Coburn
(1877-1961), born Charles Douville 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). He won in 1943 for his portrayal of elderly Benjamin
Dingle, a likable business executive forced by the wartime housing shortage
to share a Washington D.C. apartment with Jean Arthur and Joel McCrea. Lightly
toned, soiled, stained and creased. Bottom right corner is lightly creased.
Otherwise in fine condition.
