Date Sold 9/16/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm] News Photo (Learn More) Oliver Hardy was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. He, along with his partner Stan Laurel, is best remembered as part of the great comedy team "Laurel and Hardy". Some of his movies include: Big Business, Helpmates, Way Out West, A-Haunting We Will Go, and The Music Box. Hardy passed away in 1957 at the age of 65. In 2019, a film biography, "Stan & Ollie", starring John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan, was released, and while it did what most film biographies did, which is to play fast and loose with the truth, it was generally very well received and one can only hope it will cause new generations to seek out this classic duo's wonderful movies (both features and shorts)! Important Added Info: Note that this news photo measures 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" [17 x 22 cm]. It has a wonderful (and yet very sad) snipe on the back detailing the great comedian's court battle with his wife (he had put her in a sanitarium because of her alcoholism, and she was suing him for $2,500 in separate monthly maintenance). Her certainly looks much different in this photo than he did in the movies he made at this time. Condition: very good. There are some small circular areas of unevenness in the emulsion, but they are only noticeable when the photo is tilted to the light. Otherwise, it is in nice condition!
