An Autographed Letter (measures 7" x 10 1/2" [18 x 27 cm]) (Learn More) Neil Hamilton was an actor from the 1910s to the 1970s. He was born in 1899, and his good looks got him a job as a teenage shirt model, which led to some film roles. His big break was in D.W. Griffith's "The White Rose" in 1923. He was in a few more Griffith movies and he signed with Paramount and became one of their leading stars in the 1920s and 1930s, and successfully transitioned to being a character actor (including in Tarzan the Ape Man in 1932), and he never had a break in his career, all the way into the 1970s! He is likely best remembered for playing Commissioner Gordon in TV's "Batman"! He passed away in 1984 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Neil Hamilton! The letter was sent by a fan to Mr. Hamilton in 1925. The fan was from his home town of Athol, Massachusetts, and he said that getting a letter "from the old home town" pleases him more than a hundred others, so he sent her a signed photo along with a letter encouraging her to see his latest movies.
