An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Paul Kelly was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. He had one of the most remarkable lives of any Hollywood actor ever! He was a successful juvenile actor in the 1910s, and unlike almost every other juvenile of that time period, he successfully transitioned to adult roles. But he became best friends with a married couple Ray Raymond and Dorothy Mackaye in 1927, and he began an affair with Mackaye, and after a night of much drinking, Raymond began beating Mackaye, and Kelly beat Raymond so badly, he went in the hospital, and later died! Kelly was convicted of manslaughter, but the judge and jury were obviously sympathetic to him, and while he served in San Quentin prison, he only served 25 months. He got out in 1930, and surprisingly, he was easily able to resume his film career, and he married Mackaye, who had waited for him. He moved to Broadway after World War II, and won a Tony Award for "Command Decision", and originated the role of the alcoholic actor in "The Country Girl", but the film versions of both of these went to other actors, because Kelly was not a big enough draw. He never became a major star, but he remained active throughout his long career. Kelly passed away in 1956 at the age of 57. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a bit of a mystery. Someone wrote "Paul Kelly Marjorie Woodworth" on the back, but she was an actress for a few years in the 1940s, and we don't show that they ever worked together on a completed film. Also, the still says "AAF GARDEN CITY, KANSAS" in the bottom right, and we don't know what that means. If anyone knows more about this still, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There is a small tear and a long crease in the left edge of the bottom half of the left border. Learn More about condition grades
