Photograph signed: "Paul Picerni" and "Bruce Gordon" in
blue felt tip. Color, 12x8. PAUL PICERNI (1922-2011) earned a
Distinguished Flying Cross flying bombers in the CBI Theater of World War
II, and his early post-war films were mostly war-themed (Twelve
O'Clock High, To Hell and Back). An exception was his role as hero of
the Vincent Price 3-D horror film House of Wax (1953). He appeared
in multiple TV Westerns and detective dramas of the 1950s before finding the
role for which he is best remembered: Federal Agent Lee Hobson, Robert
Stack's #2 man on The Untouchables (1960-1963). He comes from a
family of stuntmen, including brother Charlie Picerni, who started as
Paul's double on The Untouchables and went on to be stuntman/stunt
coordinator on Die Hard and Lethal Weapon films. Paul Picerni,
married to over 60 years to former ballet dancer Marie Mason, was half-time
announcer for the LA Rams for over 30 years, and Mayor of Tarzana,
California (1965-1968). BRUCE GORDON (1916-2011) starred as a US
intelligence agent in the short-lived series Behind Closed Doors (1958),
but was usually cast as a villain, including a gun-toting Western vampire in
Curse of the Undead, even before he found the role for which he is
best remembered: crime boss Frank Nitti on The Untouchables
(1959-1963). He later opened two restaurants called Frank Nitti's Place,
greeting patrons at the door dressed in character. Corners rounded. Fine
condition.
