An Autographed Color 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) James Arness was an actor from the 1940s to the 1990s. He is best remembered for his starring role as 'Marshal Matt Dillon' in TV's "Gunsmoke" (the show had been a big success on radio for William Conrad, but the producers did not feel he had the right "look" for TV; contrary to urban legend, they did not want John Wayne to play the lead role, but Wayne was involved in Arness getting the part of Matt Dillon, because he had met Arness a couple of years before and put him under personal contract, and he convinced Arness to take the part, even though Arness didn't want to do it, thinking TV would hurt his career, but it ended up being Arness' big break, and John Wayne filmed an introduction to the pilot episode introducing James Arness to the TV audience!). Some of his early movies include: The Thing from Another World (as the title monster!) and Them! After Gunsmoke ended, he starred in a TV series "How the West Was Won" in 1976 to 1979. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 88. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by James Arness! Our consignor started collecting autographed photos in the 1960s and continued throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and stopped early in the 1990s. He attended collector shows, where he obtained some autographs in person, and his other signed photos were purchased from reputable dealers in New York and Los Angeles. He does not have certificates of authenticity, but he (and we) believe it is likely that the signatures on his items are authentic. 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.
