Date Sold 3/11/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] News Photo (Learn More) Stepin Fetchit (born Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry) was a black African American actor from the 1920s to the 1970s. Because of the prejudices of the time, he was forced to primarily take stereotyped roles, and act in ways that reinforced unfortunate black stereotypes, and his name has become synonymous with roles of this nature. In 1929, he scandalized some people when he not only married a 17 year old high school girl, but she was white, to boot! Some of his movies include: The Prodigal, Carolina, Harlem Follies of 1949, Zenobia, and Steamboat Round the Bend. He had a stage act in the very early 1960s called "Stepin Fetchit in Person", where he performed "The Harlem Carioca", and during that time, he became good friends with Muhammad Ali, and spent time at his training camps! He passed away in 1985 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: What a cool photo this is! It shows Stepin Fetchit in his brand new Cadillac Phaeton, and he is ordering his black chauffeur to do something. The still was printed with writing at the bottom that is partially cut off (because the news photo was originally greater than 8" x 10"). The printing says the car is a Packard, which it definitely is not! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good.
