An Original Vintage 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm] Fan Photo (Learn More) Stan Laurel (born Arthur Stanley Jefferson) was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. He, along with his partner Oliver Hardy, is best remembered as part of the great comedy team "Laurel and Hardy". He had a solo career in the early 1920s, but in 1926, he joined with Hardy (who had been a major star in the mid 1910s), and they made many legendary movies, including Sons of the Desert, Way Out West, Big Business, Helpmates, The Music Box, Tit for Tat, Towed in a Hole, Them Thar Hills, and Liberty. He passed away in 1965 at the age of 74. In 2019, a film biography, "Stan & Ollie", starring John C. Reilly and Steve Coogan, was released, and while it did what most film biographies did, which is to play fast and loose with the truth, it was generally very well received and one can only hope it will cause new generations to seek out this classic duo's wonderful movies (both features and shorts)! Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Stan Laurel! Note that these photos were sent to fans who wrote to their favorite stars from the 1910s to the early 1930s (some are created with a facsimile autograph of the star and all are printed on a quality paper stock). Studios stopped sending these great photos at some point in the very early 1930s, likely because of the Great Depression and their need to cut back on expenses! Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who has been a major movie memorabilia collector and dealer from the 1970s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items. Both we and our consignor feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity (unless noted above). Also, note that a very long-time Stan Laurel collector contacted us to tell us he feels certain that the Stan Laurel autograph in this auction is authentic. Condition: very good.
