Richard Todd, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Anne Baxter sign a sepia

Photograph signed: "Richard Todd", "Douglas Fairbanks
Jr" and "Sincerely/Anne Baxter". Sepia tone, 10x8. Typed
caption affixed to verso: "How do you like me in this? Ann Baxter chooses
this style of sun-bonnet - and the style obviously meets with the approval of
Richard Todd and producer Douglas Fairbanks. They were on a shopping spree
during a lull in location shooting for CHASE A CROOKED SH ADOW. Produced by
Douglas Fairbanks and directed by Michael Anderson, CHASE A CROOKED SHADOW is an
Associated Dragon Production for Warner Bros." Fairbanks produced this 1958
British psychological thriller, which starred Todd as Ward Prescott and Baxter
as Kimberley. DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, JR. (1909-2000), the son of the
dashing actor of the 1920s and Anna Beth Sully, the daughter of an
industrialist, was raised by his mother after his parents' divorce in 1918. At
the age of 13, he starred in Lasky's Stephen Steps Out, an unsuccessful
attempt to exploit the Fairbanks name. Although the younger Fairbanks, a
movie producer as well as an actor, appeared in some 75 films, his father
took little interest in his son's career, and the two did not become close
friends until the early 1930s. His feature films included Stella Dallas
(1926), Little Caesar (1930), The Prisoner of Zenda (1937),
Gunga Din (1939) and Sinbad the Sailor (1947), and Fairbanks also
appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies and hosted the anthology series,
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Presents (1952-1955). In the 1930s, he was
married to actress Joan Crawford. Irish-born stage and screen actor
RICHARD TODD made his film debut in 1949 and soon became a leading man
in British films. He had similar success in the U.S., most notably as
Peter Marshall in A Man Called Peter (1955). His other film
credits include The Story of Robin Hood (1952), Rob Roy (1953),
The Longest Day (1962), Operation Crossbow (1965), Asylum
(1972) and The Big Sleep (1978), and Todd also appeared on the small
screen in made-for-TV movies and miniseries as well as in guest appearances on
several U.S. and British series. Stage, screen and television actress ANNE
BAXTER (1923-1985) won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress
for The Razor's Edge (1946) and was nominated for the Best Actress
Oscar for All About Eve (1950). Among her many film roles were
Queen Nerfertiti in The Ten Commandments (1956), and Baxter's TV
work includes a starring role in the TV series Hotel (1983-1986). Baxter
was the granddaughter of renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Label
with pencil notes also affixed to verso. Minor surface creases (most not evident
head on). Overall, fine condition.
