Photograph inscribed and signed: "To Chuck/Best/Charles
'Durango'/Starrett". B/w, 10x8. Charles Starrett (1903-1986,
born in Athol, Massachusetts) is best known for his portrayal of "The Durango
Kid" in a string of B-westerns in the 1940s and early 1950s. He spent his
college years playing football for Dartmouth, and upon graduation chose acting
as his profession. After a few years of stage work and vaudeville, Starrett
signed with Paramount in 1930 but never found the breakthrough role he needed to
be a star at the studio. In the mid-1930s, Starrett signed a long-term contract
with Columbia and starred in a multitude of B westerns for the studio. But
his most famous part, as the Durango Kid, was the role that both made and broke
his film career. Return of the Durango Kid (1945), kicked off a
series of nearly 70 Durango Kid films. But in the early 1950s, as the
B-western faded into the horizon, Starrett retired from the screen. He passed
away in 1986 at the age of 82. Corners creased. Signature lightly beaded but
legible. Otherwise, fine condition.
