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. Lightly creased blank corners. Surface striations (not evident
head on). Ink note (unknown hand) on verso (no show through). Fine
condition.
