Printed Photograph signed in Ink: "Rory Calhoun" and "Good Luck!/Martha Hyer" both in black felt tip, b/w, 10x8. Publicity photograph for the 1956 film Red Sundown. RORY CALHOUN (1922-1999) was a popular film star of the 1950s and early 1960s who specialized in Westerns. He starred in the TV series The Texan (1958-1960) and continued to appear in films, primarily in character roles, until shortly before his death. Regretting his refusal of a role on Dallas (1978-1991), Calhoun appeared in the soap opera Capitol (1982-1987) for five years beginning in 1982. Growing up, Calhoun had spent several years in reform schools and after convictions for auto theft and armed robbery he even spent some time in prison. However, when his checkered past was revealed by a tabloid, it only enhanced his "bad boy" image. A notorious philanderer, his first wife listed 79 adulterous relationships in her divorce suit against the actor. As a response, Calhoun amusingly quipped, "Heck, she didn't even include half of them." MARTHA HYER (1924-2014) made her first film, Thunder Mountain, in 1947. She earned an Oscar nomination for her role as a teacher smitten with Frank Sinatra in Some Came Running(1958). Other prominent appearances include the films Battle Hymn (1956) and The Carpetbaggers (1964). She also made many TV appearances, including being featured on multiple episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Moreover, she was a screenwriter on Rooster Cogburn (1975), the last film produced by Hal Wallis (to whom she was married from 1966 until his death in 1986). Lightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
