Description

John Carradine signs as Richmond in Hamlet

Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 full-length photo of Carradine as Hamlet, signed in white ink, "Cordially, John Peter Richmond as 'Hamlet.'" In fine to very fine condition. In homage to his uncle, Carradine began his career using the stage name Peter Richmond, soon adding "John" to the beginning, which was purportedly in honor of his friend John Barrymore. In 1935, he adopted the stage name John Carradine and legally took the name as his own two years later.
