American soldier and actor (1924–1971) whose heroism during World War II earned him the Medal of Honor. After the war, Murphy parlayed his popularity, small-town charm, and baby-faced good looks into a respectable film career, appearing in a string of (mostly) westerns and war dramas. He died in a plane crash at the age of forty-six. Vintage sepia matte-finish 5 x 7 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “Best wishes to Frances - Audie Murphy.” In fine condition, with some light border creases and just a hint of light silvering. R&R COA.
