An Original Vintage Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Publicity Still (Learn More) Woody Herman (born Woodrow Charles Herman) was a clarinetist, saxophonist, singer, and big band leader from the 1930s to the 1980s, who also appeared in a few movies. He led several different bands over the years, each of which was called "The Herd". His bands often played music that was cutting edge and experimental, and their recordings received numerous Grammy nominations. Some of his movies include: Hit Parade of 1947, What's Cookin'? and Earl Carroll Vanities. He had a business manager who mismanaged his money in the 1960s, and he owed the IRS millions, and he kept performing well into the 1980s, because he was in danger of eviction from his home. He passed away in 1987 at the age of 74. Important Added Info: Note that this publicity still has been personally autographed (signed) by Woody Herman! Our consignor is a very longtime collector of movie paper who purchased this item in a collection from an estate, and each of the autographs in that collection were personalized to the person who had passed away, and he (and we) believe it is certain that the autograph is authentic, but he does not have a certificate of authenticity. Condition: good to very good. The bottom border was folded back at one time and there are some faint creases scattered throughout the still (mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light), as well as a smudge at bottom left.
