Movie still from Mister Roberts (1955). Photo also includes a secretarial
signature for Jack Lemmon, who is pictured along with William Powell. Mister
Roberts, the hit comedy drama based on a 1946 novel by Thomas Heggen and a
1948 Broadway play, starred JAMES CAGNEY as hard-driving Captain, and
HENRY FONDA as his executive officer, Lt. Roberts. William Powell
appeared as "Doc" in his last feature film, while Jack Lemmon scored his first
Oscar (Best Supporting Actor) as Ensign Pulver. JAMES CAGNEY
(1899-1986), who appeared in leading roles on Broadway from
the mid-1920s, gained film stardom, legendary tough guy status and an iconic
pineapple-to-the-puss scene in Public Enemy (1931). In addition to his
Best Actor Oscar for Yankee Doodle Dandy, he received two additional
Oscar nominations in the category for Angels With Dirty Faces (1938)
and Love Me Or Leave Me (1955). After years of health problems, Cagney
made a successful film comeback in Ragtime (1981). HENRY FONDA
(1905-1982) enjoyed a highly successful career spanning close to a half
century. His first important Broadway part was in the first
edition of New Faces in 1934. That was followed by the title role in
The Farmer Takes a Wife, which he repeated in Hollywood the following
year. Two years later, Fonda was an established star appearing in such films as
Jezebel, Jesse James, Young Mr.
Lincoln, Drums Along the Mohawk and The Grapes of
Wrath. Fonda enlisted and served three years in the Navy during
WWII-serving in Air Combat Intelligence in the Central Pacific, he was awarded a
Presidential Citation and the Bronze Star. In March 1982, five months
before he died at the age of 77, Henry Fonda won his only Academy Award for
his performance in On Golden Pond, co-starring Katharine Hepburn and
his daughter, Jane Fonda. In 1999, Fonda was named the sixth Greatest
Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute. Corners worn and
creased. Pin size holes at corners. "Cagney" signature lightly faded at ending
