Photograph Signed: "Michael/Redgrave". B/w, 3½x5½ overall,
image 3¼x5 (one surface). Name imprinted at bottom margin. Michael Redgrave
(1908-1985, born in Bristol, England) was a Tony and Oscar-nominated
English actor of stage, film and TV. Redgrave was a high school teacher
before he began acting. He made his London debut in 1936 with Love Labour's
Lost and his Broadway debut in 1948 in the title role of MacBeth.
Redgrave broke into films with an unaccredited role in Alfred Hitchcock's The
Secret Agent the year he made his London debut and found stardom with
another Hitchcock movie, The Lady Vanishes, two years later. Redgrave
went on to act in over 70 movies and TV shows. Most of these were British
productions, including a role as Dr. Barnes Wallis, designer of the
hydroplaning bombs in the popular The Dam Busters (1955). Redgrave's
attempts to break into Hollywood with Mourning Becomes Electra (1947) was
unsuccessful, although he did earn an Oscar nomination out of it.
He settled into character roles and starring on stage after The Dam
Busters, earning a Tony for his role as Hector in Tiger at the
Gates. Redgrave also wrote the acting textbook The Actor's Ways and
Means, the novel The Mountebank's Tale and two autobiographies. He
was knighted in 1959. Lightly worn at corners. Fine condition.
