An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Guy Madison (born Robert Ozell Moseley) was an actor from the 1940s to the 1970s. He had one of the most unusual introductions to the movies ever! He was in the Coast Guard in 1944 at the age of 22, and while the movie "Since You Went Away" was being filmed, producer David O. Selznick wanted an unknown sailor for one of the important small parts, and he met Robert Moseley, and signed him on the spot, because of his good looks. They picked "Guy Madison" out of thin air, and billed him that way. After the movie was released, Madison received thousands of fan letters, and once he was out of the Coast Guard, he was signed to a contract, and he appeared in several movies in the late 1940s, including "Till the End of Time". In 1951, he was cast in the lead of TV's "The Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok". The show was very successful, and many feature films were made out of the episodes. When that series ended, he went to Europe, where he became a star in westerns and adventure films. He had a very sad marriage from 1949 to 1954 to actress Gail Russell, who struggled with alcoholism. After they divorced, he married actress Sheila Connolly and they had four children before also divorcing. He passed away in 1996 at the age of 74. Important Added Info: Note that this is a studio-issued transparency that is produced by the studio but is not the camera original. When a smaller format film was originally used, a larger copy transparency was often made by the studio so that retouching could be added and sent out or used for approved publication purposes. The transparency is not in a plastic sleeve, but a replacement is easily obtained. This is a very special auction of 444 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size. Also note that every one of these 444 auctions have had their transparencies and/or negatives scanned expertly. This auction contains that scan with the "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. ONLY the winner of this auction will, on request, be sent UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the items in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make high quality positive prints of the items they purchased. Condition: good. The transparency is not in a sleeve and there are some tiny dots in Madison's forehead and even smaller ones in his cheeks. They are barely noticeable and can certainly be corrected in the scan (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
