FRANK COGHLAN, JR.
Vintage b/w bust photo of a young and freckle-faced Frank Coghlan,
Jr., signed in white ink
Photograph signed: "Frank 'Junior' Coghlan" in white ink.B/w, 8x10 overall, 7x9¼ image, one surface. Coghlan, born Francis
Edward Coghlan, Jr. (1916-2009), started appearing in films at the tender age of
3 to help pay his father's tuition for chiropractic college. His first
appearances were bit roles in two-reel comedies until he caught the eye of Cecil
B. DeMille, who called Coghlan "the perfect example of a homeless waif".
(I'm sure his father would have been proud to hear that) Anyway, he began
appearing as Junior Coghlan in major silents like The Yankee Clipper
(1926), Let 'Er Go Gallegher (1927) and Slide, Kelly, Slide (1927)
and as the juvenile versions of Leon Janney in Penrod and Sam (1930) and
James Cagney in Public Enemy (1931). Fans of Republic serials may also
recognize him as Captain Marvel's alter-ego in The Adventures of Captain
Marvel (1941). In all, Coghlan had almost 130 film and TV appearances
between 1920 and 1974, as well as a 23-year career as an aviator in the
United States Navy. Lightly toned and creased. Light impressions on image.
Otherwise in fine condition.
