CHUCK CONNORS
Hand-tinted and signed photograph showing the professional athlete turned television
star in a suit and tie
Photograph signed: "Sincerely/ Chuck/ Connors", B/w (hand tinted), 8x10. Chuck Connors
(1921-1992) was an American actor and professional athlete. He played in
both Major League Baseball (MLB) and in the Basketball Association of America,
the predecessor to the NBA. Following his career in sports, he grew into an
even more famous celebrity as an actor. His portrayal of single father Lucas
McCain in The Rifleman (1958-1963) is easily his most recognizable role; the
show ran for 168 episodes over five seasons and follows the rancher and his
son Mark McCain (portrayed by Johnny Crawford) as they settle in at a new
home in North Fork, New Mexico Territory. He earned his first screen credit in
Pat and Mike in 1952, where he portrayed a police captain. After earning
various television and film credits throughout the 1950s, Connors beat out
dozens of other actors for the role of Lucas McCain. After The Rifleman
ended, he picked up starring roles in television shows Arrest and Trial
(1963-1964), Branded(1965-1966), and Cowboy in Africa (1967-1968). When
none of these shows achieved the level of success that The Rifleman did,
Connors began to focus on the big screen, with roles in Soylent Green (1973)
and Airplane II: The Sequel (1982). In a return to television, he had a
memorable role in the mini-series Roots (1977) as a plantation owner, one of the
many antagonists of the series. The popular actor was awarded a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984. Slightly creased and worn at corners and edges.
