Description

Good luck from “Radio’s Revelation”

Hollywood’s tragic crooner, he died mysteriously at the age of 26. The question of whether it was an accident or murder still remains. Also known as The Romeo of Song, The Singing Valentino, and Radio's Revelation. At the time of his death, he was romantically linked to Carole Lombard. He died the victim of a supposedly accidental shooting in which a bullet ricocheted off a table and hit him in the forehead, killing him instantly. Vintage sepia glossy 8 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Sid - Thanks for your kind thoughts. Here’s lots of luck for your new adventure in the Radio field - Russ Columbo.” In fine condition, with a few light bends and surface marks and just a touch of light contrast to portions of inscription. R&R COA.
