5¼x4¼. Broadway actor, producer and director Charles Douville Coburn
(1877-1961) 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. Toned. Left edge irregular.
Lightly creased throughout. Ink note (unknown hand, misspelled) on bottom edge.
Otherwise, fine condition.
