Uncommonly early 3.5 x 5.5-inch sepia tone potcard portrait, boldly signed in blue ballpoint pen in the 1950s. In fine condition, with a mild bend to the bottom right corner tip, barely glancing the image. Good-looking, humorless action film star Richard Egan was memorable in Flame of Araby (1951), The Battle of Apache Pass (1952), Blackbeard the Pirate (1952), Khyber Patrol (1954), the horror flick Gog (1954), Seven Cities of Gold (1955), the Elvis Presley favorite Love Me Tender (1957), A Summer Place (1959), Pollyanna (1960), Esther and the King (1960), The 300 Spartans (1962), sci-fi's The Destructors (1968), and Mission to Glory (1977). He died of cancer at the age of 65.
