Legendary director (1885–1957) whose autocratic nature and profligacy brought an end to his directorial career. He went on to enjoy success as a character actor, perhaps most memorably as Gloria Swanson’s faithful butler in the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard. Vintage pearl-finish 7 x 9 photo of Stroheim holding a knife, signed and inscribed in fountain pen in French. Scattered surface dings and impressions, paperclip impression to left edge, and a bit of scattered light silvering, otherwise fine condition. RRAuction COA.
