LAUREL & HARDY: STAN LAUREL
Photo inscribed and signed by Laurel, shown receiving the Screen Actors Guild's Lifetime Achievement Award from Charlton Heston and Dana Andrews
Photograph inscribed and signed: "What'll you have Johnnie?/Stan". B/w, 5x4. Shown with Charlton Heston and Dana Andrews, who are presenting Laurel with the Screen Actors Guild's Lifetime Achievement Award (1963). Stan Laurel (1890-1965), born Arthur Stanley Jefferson in Ulverston, England, toured the U.S. in 1910 and 1912 as Charlie Chaplin's understudy. He stayed in America to appear on vaudeville and in several comedy shorts, including one with an accidental pairing with Oliver Hardy (1892-1957), Lucky Dog, in 1918. In 1926, after separate careers, Laurel and Hardy worked together once more for director Hal Roach, who noticed their on-screen chemistry and persuaded them to join forces as a team to make comedies. From 1927-1950, Laurel and Hardy appeared in over 100 movies, including 27 feature films and the 1932 three-reeler, The Music Box, which won an Academy Award for Best Short Subject. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, when this document was signed, the comedy legends also toured English music halls as well as continuing to make films. Laurel stopped performing after Hardy's death in 1957, although he appeared in archival appearances in a number of documentaries on comedy legends, including Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy. Lightly creased in margins. Slightly soiled in lower left corner. Otherwise, fine condition.
