Description

Rare Belushi Blues Brothers portrait with a ‘Joliet Jake’-inspired inscription, “Drive carefully and stay out of jail”

Charismatic, self-destructive comedian and actor (1949–1982) whose brilliant career in television and film was cut short by his drug-related death at the age of 33. Uncommon glossy 9.5 x 7 French promotional photo from The Blues Brothers, showing Jake and Elwood Blues with Ray Charles, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, “Gunnar, Drive carefully and stay out of jail, John Belushi.” Trimmed top edge, staple holes to borders and corners, and a bit of trivial skipping to signature and inscription, otherwise fine condition. Originally obtained by Swedish film journalist Gunnar Rehlin. Belushi is notoriously scarce in signed photos, particularly from his signature role. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
