Vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait from 1976's Swashbuckler, boldly signed and inscribed in purple felt-tip pen in the late 1970s. In very fine condition and uncommon this early. Oscar-nominated Black actor James Earl Jones, who so famously lent his distinctive baritone voice to Darth Vader in the Star Wars film series, was unforgettable in Dr. Strangelove (1964), The Great White Hope (1970), Jesus of Nazareth (1977), Conan the Barbarian (1982), Coming to America (1988), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Patriot Games (1992), The Lion King (1994), and Cry, the Beloved Country (1995).
