Nifty 8x10-inch black and white portrait for Forbidden Planet (1956), shown with Anne Francis, boldly signed in black felt-tip marker in-person at a film convention appearance in the 1990s. In good condition. Although associated by younger audiences with comedies like Airplane! (1980), the Naked Gun series, and the goofy horror send-ups Repossessed (1990) and Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995), Nielsen had been a dashing romantic lead in dramas of the 1950s. In 1956, he starred as Commander J.J. Adams in the sci-fi classic Forbidden Planet.
