An Original Vintage Autographed Arcade Card (measures 3 1/4" x 5 1/4" [8 x 13 cm]) (Learn More) Dana Andrews was an actor from the 1940s to the 1990s. He was born in 1909, and he was far from an "overnight success". He had many non-entertainment jobs before getting work at the Pasadena Playhouse (and training as an opera singer!). He was signed by Goldwyn in 1939, but it was two years before he got significant roles, and even those were pretty minor. He became a major star when World War II started, probably because most of the younger leading men were off at war, and he starred in some very memorable early 1940s movies, including several with Gene Tierney. But he became an alcoholic, and that severely hurt his career. In 1963, he became President of the Screen Actors Guild and served for two years. Some of his movies include: The Best Years of Our Lives, Laura, Tobacco Road, Belle Starr, and The Ox-Bow Incident. Sadly, Andrews suffered from Alzheimer's disease in his later years, and passed away in 1992 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this arcade card has been personally autographed (signed) by Dana Andrews! Note that this is part of an unusual collection! The person who had these arcade cards, each of which has a facsimile signature printed on it, then got a real signature on the front of the card. Because these were purchased by a dealer many years ago, and because both the original collector and the dealer are no longer living, we don't know whether the real signatures were acquired in person or through the mail, but because they were acquired decades ago, we think it is extremely likely that all of them are authentic, but our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity, so bear that in mind before bidding on this arcade card. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good.
