Price: $1,200.00
RARE SIGNED STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGE
JAY SILVERHEELS. Photograph inscribed and signed: "To
Dolly/Good luck/Jay Silverheels/'Tonto'". B/w, 8½x11 overall, image 7½x9½
(one surface). Rare studio photographic image. Best known as Tonto, "the
faithful Indian companion" of television's Lone Ranger (1949-1957), Jay
Silverheels (1918-1980) had many other film roles, including three performances
as Geronimo in Westerns of the 1950s. Dissatisfied with what he considered
the stereotyped parts assigned to "Tonto", he founded the Indian Actors Workshop
in Hollywood in the late 1960s with the dual goals of creating more acting
opportunities for Native Americans and of improving their screen image. In
1979 he became the first American Indian (a full-blooded Mohawk) with a star on
Hollywood's Walk of Fame. Lightly creased, touching writing and facial
image. Lightly soiled at lower margin, touching the "J" of Jay and underlining
signature. Overall, fine condition.
