An Autographed Photo (measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" [9 x 14 cm]) (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 photo has been personally autographed (signed) by Stan Laurel (and he added "All the best Raymond & Mrs. Bell")! Also note that the photo has two facsimile signatures at upper left and right, but those are within the printing. Note that this photo (and also a signed postcard and a signed letter, which are in two separate auctions) comes from the estate of an Australian collector, Raymond Bell. Mr. Bell and his wife visited the United States in the early 1960s, and they met Stan Laurel in person, and they formed a friendship that continued after they returned to Australia, and they corresponded with Mr. Laurel until his passing in 1965. Our consignor does not have certificates of authenticity for any of these three items, but we feel certain the signatures are authentic (and remember that each of the three items is in a separate auction). 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 (although we prefer they do any "authenticating" while the auction is "live" and before they place a bid) and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good to very good. The signature is very slightly smudged (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
