EDWARD ANDREWS
A black and white (3½x5¾) candid photograph of the character actor signed to a fan with "all good wishes"
Inscribed photograph signed: "For Violet/all good wishes/Edward Andrews", in green ink, B/w 3½x5¾. Readily recognizable character actor Edward Andrews (1914-1985) was in his forties before finding prominent roles. After that, he was seen very often on TV from the early 1950s to the mid-1980s. Andrews could play kindly seniors, such as Molly Ringwald's grandfather in Sixteen Candles (1984), but also corrupt officials and sleazy businessman. He personally preferred comedy, as in the Doris Day vehicle The Glass Bottom Boat (1966), and many of his TV roles were in sitcoms (such as The Love Boat, The Bob Newhart Show and Three's Company. His last movie, Warner Bros.' Gremlins, came out in 1984. This photograph is from the collection of Francis and Violet Zane, Hawaii natives who moved to California in the 1920's. Francis Zane had a job at the historic Curran Theater and the San Francisco Opera House, which is where he began his massive collection, with photographs and materials ranging from the 1920's to 1960's. The location and luck of his occupation would land him smack dab in the middle of the celebrity world, allowing him to capture some of the most unique and interesting pieces of Hollywood History. Corners slightly worn and creased. Fine condition.
