RODDY MC DOWALL. Document signed: "Roddy McDowall", 6p,
8½x11. Beverly Hills, California, 1953 May 6. McDowall retains the
William Morris Agency as his exclusive agent for a term of one year. 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. File and staple holes at top. Ink stamps on first and
last (signature) page. Overall, fine concition.
