Scarce 10x8-inch black and white still from The Tenant (1976), boldly signed in blue felt-tip pen in the 1990s. A very mild surface ding in his hair, completely invisible when the photograph is viewed head-on; otherwise, in very fine condition. Oscar-winning Polish-born director Roman Polanski is remembered for important films like Repulsion (1965), horror's Rosemary's Baby (1969), Chinatown (1974), and The Pianist (2002), as well as for his stormy personal life.  In 1969, his breathtakingly beautiful wife, actress Sharon Tate, was brutally murdered and mutilated by members of the Mason family.
