The musician and actor signs candid 4x6 photograph in blue
ink
Inscribed photograph signed: "To Clint/ From/ Freddie" in blue
ink. Color, 4x6. Actor and singer Freddie Stewart (1925-2000) began his
career as a musical entertainer after the war, getting a job at a Catskills
resort and moving up as a tenor vocalist in Clyde McCoy's Orchestra, and
eventually his own radio show "Freddie Stewart Sings" in New York. He moved to
Hollywood in the late 1940s and began appearing on shows such as She's A
Sweetheart (1944), Stewart joined Tommy Doresey's Orchestra hoping to
find success similar to Frank Sinatra. It was when he signed with the small
"Poverty Row" studio that Stewart was given an eight-film contract of bobbysoxer
musicals where the actors (mostly in their late 20s) were billed as teenagers;
these included Junior Prom (1946) and Music Man
(1948) and were popular for their breezy, escapist nature. He had little
film success after that and spent the rest of his life perform, night-club
owning, and touring around the world. Ink notes on verso in unknown hand. Fine
condition.
