Description

Gig Young

American actor (1913–1978) who won the 1969 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his memorable role in They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? Plagued by the “Oscar curse” and increasingly acute alcoholism, Young killed himself and his fifth wife in a murder-suicide by gunshot just three weeks after their marriage. Vintage glossy 8 x 10 photo, signed and inscribed in brown ink “To Mike, Best wishes, Gig Young.” Scattered light surface marks and creases, and light show-through from printed caption on reverse, otherwise fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
