Photograph signed: "Sincerely/Gil/Lamb". B/w, 5x7 overall,
image 4½x6¼ (one surface), printed cardstock.Gil Lamb (1904-1995)
was an American comedian and actor with 60 movie and TV shows to his credit.
Rubber-limbed and faced, Lamb got his show biz start as a vaudevillian in the
1930s, entertaining audiences as an eccentric actor and an act, his most famous,
where he pretended to swallow a harmonica. He got his start in movies in
1935's Roof Tops of Manhattan. His roles included support roles and
specialty players in Paramount musicals like The Fleet's In (1942) and
Rainbow Island (1946) and as Humphrey Pennyworth in a series of films
based on the Joe Palooka comic strip - a puzzling choice, as Pennyworth
was obese in the strip. Lamb starred in a series of two-reel comedies at RKO
Radio between 1949 to 1952, then returned to radio, with guest starring roles in
TV shows and uncredited cameo appearances in Disney productions. He also hosted
the TV variety show Window on the World (1949). Lightly toned, creased
and bowed. Lightly dented on left edge. Adhesive residue on verso. Otherwise,
fine condition.
