An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Jack L. Warner was one of the founders of the Warner Bros. studio and who also produced several movies including My Fair Lady, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Dark Passage, and a host of other top Warner Bros movies! AND Donald Crisp, in an unusual twist, started out as an actor in 1908 and appeared in around 75 movies over the next six years, and then became a director. Over the next 15 years, he directed 72 movies, and only appeared as an actor in around a dozen. But then in 1930, at the age of 50, he resumed his acting career, and made 75 more movies as an actor! He was very much in demand for all sorts of "older man" parts, and he stayed in remarkable physical condition, playing an ordinary seaman in the 1935 "Mutiny on the Bounty" at the age of 56, and playing Elizabeth Taylor's father in "National Velvet" at the age of 65. He continued acting all the way until 1963, playing "Grandpa Spencer" in "Spencer's Mountain", at the age of 84, and he lived another 11 years! AND Walter Pidgeon, an actor from the late 1920s silents and early talkies to great character roles in 1950s movies such as Forbidden Planet through the 1970s with television roles. He was born in 1897, and started making silent movies in the mid 1920s, but he had limited success. He had a wonderful speaking voice, but that did not lead to stardom in early sound movies. Finally, in 1937, at the age of 40, MGM put him under contract, but still limited him to supporting roles. His "big break" finally came in 1941 with "How Green Was My Valley", and he became one of MGM's top stars of the early 1940s (no doubt helped by so many other male stars being away at war). He stayed with MGM for the remainder of his career. Some of his movies include: Forbidden Planet, How Green Was My Valley, Mrs. Miniver, Advise and Consent, The Bad and the Beautiful, Man Hunt, Command Decision, and Funny Girl! Important Added Info: Note that we don't know what it was that brought these three great icons of cinema together, but it appears to surely have been in the early 1970s.
