Photograph signed: "Patricia Medina" and "Joseph
Cotten", Color 5x3½. Medina and
Cotton were married from 1960 until his death on February 6, 1994, she made
her Broadway debut with him in 1962's Calculated Risk. Joseph Cotten (1905-1994) made his
Broadway debut in 1930, and seven years later joined Orson Welles' progressive
Mercury Theatre company. He briefly left Welles in 1939 to co-star in Katharine
Hepburn's Broadway comeback vehicle The Philadelphia Story. Cotten
rejoined Welles in Hollywood in 1940, making his feature-film debut in
Citizen Kane (1941). A firmly established romantic lead by the
early 1940s, he occasionally stepped outside his established screen image to
play murderers (Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, 1943) and surly drunkards
(Under Capricorn, 1949). Cotten won a Venice Film Festival award for
his performance in Portrait of Jennie (1948). He later flourished on
television as a guest performer on such anthologies as Alfred Hitchcock
Presents, Fireside Theatre and The Great Adventure, and as
host of The 20th Century-Fox Hour (1955), The Joseph Cotten Show
(1956), On Trial (1959) and Hollywood and the Stars (1963).
