Black and white publicity still of Winfield and Lancaster [not signing] from Twilight's Last Gleaming
Photograph signed: "Paul/Winfield". B/w, 10x8. Still from the 1977 drama Twilight's Last Gleaming, which starred Winfield as Powell and Burt Lancaster (also pictured) as Lawrence Dell. The film, directed by Robert Aldrich, also starred Richard Widmark, Charles Durning, Melvyn Douglas, Burt Young and Joseph Cotten. ©1977, Allied Artists Pictures Corp. Captioned at lower margin. Typed caption affixed to verso: "Lawrence Dell (Burt Lancaster) and Powell (Paul Winfield) inform the United States Defense Department they have captured a Titan missile base in a tense scene from 'TWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMING,' a Lorimar-Bavaria presentation of a Geria Film released through Allied Artists." In 1977, Winfield also starred in two feature films, Damnation Alley and The Greatest, and a made-for-TV movie, Green Eyes. Stage, screen and television actor Paul Winfield (1941-2004) was nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award (Sounder, 1972) and two Emmy Awards (for the 1978 mini-series, King, based on the life of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Roots: The Next Generation, 1979), and he won the 1995 Emmy for his role as Judge Harold Nance on Picket Fences. Trained for the stage, Winfield got his big break playing Paul Cameron on the ground-breaking TV series, Julia (1968-1971). After making his film debut in 1969 (The Lost Man), Winfield starred in a long list of feature films, including Huckleberry Finn (1974), Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), The Terminator (1984), Presumed Innocent (1990), Dennis the Menace (1993) and Mars Attacks! (1996). He was just as prolific on the small screen, appearing in dozens of made-for-TV movies, miniseries and documentaries, and Winfield appeared as a guest star in series ranging from Perry Mason (1965) to Touched By An Angel (2003). He was also a regular on several TV series, including The Charmings (1987, voice of the Magic Mirror), Wiseguy (1989) and 227 (1989-1990). Lightly creased at blank margins and corners. Minor surface creases and striations (not evident head on). Light show through of mounting glue (barely visible) at upper background. Fine condition.
