DAVID BRIAN (1914-1993), got started as a musical comedian, but an uncredited role in 1935's G-Men launched him on a long movie and TV career, with 75 credits until the end of his career in 1975. A leading man who starred opposite such stars as Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, his best performance is probably as a lawyer defending a black boy accused of murder in Intruder in the Dust (1949). Star Trek fans may recognize Brian as the misguided John Gill, who introduced Nazism to the primitive planet of Acos, in the 1968 episode Patterns of Force. MARSHALL THOMPSON (1926-1992), born James Marshall Thompson in Peoria, Illinois, has an extensive resume of over 110 movies and TV shows between 1944 and 1991. Thompson often appeared in war movies during his early career, including starring roles in Battleground (1949) and To Hell and Back (1955), but it was also peppered with roles in B-grade cult flicks like Cult of the Cobra (1955), It! The Terror from Beyond Space (1958), Fiend Without a Face (1958) and First Man into Space (1959). Thompson's best known TV is probably Dr. Marsh Tracy on Daktari (1966-1968). Lightly toned. Show-through from both signatures, both of which touch signature on opposite side. Lightly discolored from Thompson's photo with show-though (does not touch signature). Neatly cut from album at one edge. Otherwise, fine condition.
