RODDY MC DOWALL. Photograph inscribed and signed: "For/Reverend
and/Mrs. Britton -/ with congratulations/Roddy McDowall/1979". B/w, 8x10
overall, image 5x7 (one surface). The arrival of London-born McDowall
(1928-1998) in Hollywood came when he tested for the juvenile lead in Fox's
How Green Was My Valley (1941), winning both the role and a long
contract. McDowall's first adult acting assignment was as Malcolm in Orson
Welles' 1948 film version of Macbeth. The actor spent the better part
of the early 1960s playing Octavian in the mammoth production Cleopatra,
co-starring with longtime friend Elizabeth Taylor. An accomplished
photographer, McDowall was honored by having his photos of Taylor and other
celebrities frequently published in the leading magazines of the era.
McDowall's most frequent assignments between 1968 and 1975 found him in
elaborate simian makeup in the Planet of the Apes theatrical films and TV
series. Shortly before his death, the Academy of Motion Pictures named its
photo archive after him. Fine condition.
