RICHARD KILEY
Photograph of the actor in a patterned suit, signed to a fan with "Best Wishes"
Photograph inscribed and signed: "For Michael David Reid/Best Wishes,/Richard Kiley". B/w, 8x10. Singer and actor Richard Kiley (1922-1999) won Tony Awards for Best Actor (Musical) for Redhead (1959) and Man of La Mancha (1966), for which he created his signature role as Don Quixote (as well as Cervantes). Kiley, who was also nominated for a Tony in the same category for No Strings (1962) and nominated in the Best Actor (Play) category for a 1987 revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, did very little singing in his film and television roles. Kiley, who appeared on television from early anthologies (Robert Montgomery Presents, Pulitzer Prize Playhouse; 1951) to Ally McBeal (1998), also had regular roles on such series as The Edge of Night (1961), A Year in the Life (1987-1988) and The Great Defender (1995), and he appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies and miniseries, including How the West Was Won (1977) and a starring role as Paddy Cleary in The Thorn Birds (1983). Kiley's film credits include Blackboard Jungle (1955), The Little Prince (1974), Looking for Mr. Goodbar (1977), Jurassic Park (1993, Jurassic Park Tour Voice), Phenomenon (1996) and Patch Adams (1998). Lightly creased at blank margins and corners. Minor surface creases (most not evident head on), one at nose. Light impression of writing at right background from another photograph being signed on top of this one. Otherwise, fine condition.
