Photograph signed: "Peace Harry Belafonte". B/w, 10x8. Movie still from Odds Against
Tomorrow (1959). Harold George Belafonte, Jr. (1927-2023), the son of Jamaican
immigrants, studied at the Actors Studio, the drama workshop at the New York School for
Social Research and the American Negro Theater. After appearing on the New York stage and
singing in cabarets, he made his film debut in Bright Road (1953). The following year,
Belafonte won a Tony Award for John Murray Anderson's Almanac and starred in
Carmen Jones, the second film in his string of hits. In 1956, he spearheaded the Calypso
music craze with his album Calypso. The album was number one on the charts for an
amazing 31 weeks. His most popular single was the well-known "Banana Boat Song."
Belafonte, who also became television's first Black producer, won Emmy Awards in 1960
for his TV special, Tonight With Harry Belafonte, and in 1985 for initiating the all-star
We Are the World video. Belafonte, always politically active, has been outspoken in his
criticism of the war in Iraq and other US foreign policy ventures. Fine condition.
