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 westerns and war dramas. He died in a plane crash at the age of 46. Vintage 8 x 10 Universal publicity photo of Murphy dressed in full military uniform, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To David, My very best, Audie Murphy.” Paperclip impression along top edge, some scattered small surface creases, and a small spot of toning to top edge, otherwise fine condition.
