An Autographed Color 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Gary Oldman was born Leonard Gary Oldman in London, England in 1958. Oldman says his father was an abusive alcoholic who left when he was seven (and this may explain why Oldman has been repeatedly drawn to portray so many dark and disturbed characters!). He excelled in singing and piano as a child, but gave that up in favor of acting. He graduated from college in 1979 and then spent 8 years mostly on the English stage. In 1986, he starred in Sid & Nancy as Sid Vicious, and it surely is one of the finest film performances ever. He followed with many other excellent portrayals, and the ones that stand out most for me were in JFK (as Lee Harvey Oswald), True Romance (as one of the baddest bad guys ever!), Leon (aka The Professional), and Immortal Beloved (as Ludwig van Beethoven). But Oldman has never delivered a bad performance, and he manages to look and sound completely different in every single role! In 1997, he also wrote and directed Nil By Mouth, a semi-autobiographical look at his growing up. He has had a turbulent private life, having been married four times since 1988, and he had a major alcohol and drug problem for many years, but is now sober, thanks to AA. Oldman is one of those incredibly gifted actors who can truly inhabit the people he portrays. When I watch him, I have no sensation I am watching him portray someone else, but rather I feel as though I am actually watching the person he is portraying, a remarkable achievement! Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by Gary Oldman! Note that many celebrities kept multiple 8" x 10" (or smaller) copies of good publicity images of themselves to sign for fans, and also many memorabilia shops sold such copy stills themselves. While they are not original stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of that celebrity in their heyday, which, when signed by the celebrity, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 66 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who worked in the movie business, and who attended many premieres and special Hollywood events. When he would go to them, he would bring stills (usually REPRODUCTIONS, but sometimes originals which we have clearly noted above) of stars he knew would be in attendance, and get them autographed by those stars when he would meet them in person at the event. So all of these 67 autographed items we are auctioning were obtained in person, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 67 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
