An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Neil Hamilton was an actor from the 1910s to the 1970s. He was born in 1899, and his good looks got him a job as a teenage shirt model, which led to some film roles. His big break was in D.W. Griffith's "The White Rose" in 1923. He was in a few more Griffith movies and he signed with Paramount and became one of their leading stars in the 1920s and 1930s, and successfully transitioned to being a character actor (including in Tarzan the Ape Man in 1932), and he never had a break in his career, all the way into the 1970s! He is likely best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon in TV's "Batman"! He passed away in 1984 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
