Photograph signed: "Joseph Cotten" in black ink. B/w, 3½x5½.
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). Corners rounded. Toned. Slightly soiled
on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
