Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Robert Montgomery (born Henry Montgomery Jr.) was an actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He was born in New York in 1904 into a rich family, but his father died and the family was broke, and Robert worked at many jobs. He made it to the Broadway stage and then to Hollywood in 1929. His big break came when Norma Shearer picked him to play opposite her in "Private Lives" in 1931. He was a major star of the 1930s and 1940s, and in order to keep from getting typecast, he kept taking very different roles. Some of his movies include: Night Must Fall (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Mr. & Mrs. Smith (1941), They Were Expendable, Here Comes Mr. Jordan (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Lady in the Lake (as Raymond Chandler's Phillip Marlowe), and The Divorcee. He had a popular TV show in the 1950s, "Robert Montgomery Presents". His daughter, Elizabeth Montgomery, became a major star as well, but of course, she was more of a TV actress, best remembered for TV's "Bewitched". He passed away in 1981 at the age of 77. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: MGM created two different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The earlier set was made in 1932, and this poster comes from that set. These posters are extremely rare as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! Condition: very good. As is typical with these MGM personality posters, there are a few minor chips out of the borders. There is a light scuff in the top right of Montgomery's head extending into the background area.. Note that due to the type of paper these posters were printed on, they must be sent in large flat packages. If you are from outside the United States, this poster will cost a lot to send, as the package will be very large. Please take this into account before placing a bid. If you are from inside the United States, we will only charge our normal shipping, even though it will cost us much more than that to send properly! Learn More about condition grades
