promotional photograph in black ink
Printed photograph signed in ink: 'Joseph Cotten" in black
ink. B/w, 10x8. Promotional photograph from the film Two Flags West
(1950). 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 creased. Light surface creased. Slightly toned.
Slightly soiled on verso. Otherwise, fine condition.
