Photograph signed "Marcel Hillaire" on verso of image in blue

hand. B/w, 9¾x7¾ overall, 9¼x7¼ image, one surface. Hillaire (1908-1988,
born Erwin Ottmar Hiller in Cologne, Germany) was a character actor with almost
70 movies and TV shows to his credit. Hillaire had frequent performances in
the spy and thriller genres, including Four Horsemen of the
Apocalypse (1962) and in episodes of I Spy, The Man from U. N. C.
L. E. and Mission: Impossible, as well as the spy spoofs
Murderer's Row (1966) and Get Smart. But his real life was, if
anything, more exciting and dramatic than any of his roles. Hillaire changed his
name from Erwin Hiller to Harry Furster during the Nazi regime in Germany. He
acted on stage and served in the German army under this name until he was
discovered and imprisoned. He escaped and made his way to the United States,
where he changed his name to Marcel Hillaire. Lightly toned, creased and bowed.
Impressions on image from signature on image (not visible head-on). Other light
impressions (not visible head-on). Errors in negative were reproduced in photo.
