An Autographed 4 1/2" x 6" [11 x 15 cm] Album Page (Learn More) Adolphe Menjou was an actor from the 1910s to the 1960s. He was born in 1890 in Pittsburgh (even though he seemed European!) to a French father and an Irish mother, and his father disapproved of show business, but while at college, Adolphe changed his major to liberal arts and started appearing in plays. He moved to New York when he was 25, but couldn't make it on Broadway, and appeared in minor movies in the middle 1910s. He served in World War I and then afterwards went behind the camera working as a production manager. In 1921, he moved to Hollywood, and got leading roles in movies and became a major star throughout the 1920s and 1930s, and then he seamlessly switched to character roles. He had a wonderful part in Paths of Glory as the slimy General Broulard near the end of his career. Some of his other movies include: Little Miss Marker, Golden Boy, The Marriage Circle, and Stage Door. He passed away in 1963 at the age of 73. Important Added Info: This album page has been personally autographed (signed) by Adolphe Menjou. It could be matted with a vintage or repro still and framed together to make a cool display! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
