Highly rare vintage 10x8-inch black and white publicity portrait from the 1965 noir thriller Brainstorm, boldly signed and inscribed in red ballpoint pen around the time of the film. In good condition, with a few minor handling dings. Good-looking leading man Jeffrey Hunter, who died so tragically of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 42, is best remembered as the sidekick of John Wayne in The Searchers (1956), Jesus Christ in King of Kings (1961) and Captain Christopher Pike in the original pilot episode of "Star Trek" (1965), a role he would reprise in the classic "Menagerie" episode of the actual series in 1966.
