Mexican actor (1899–1968) whose rising popularity among female moviegoers resulted in his being billed as the ‘New Valentino.’ In 1925 he appeared in his most famous role, as the title character in Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. On October 30, 1968, Novarro was savagely beaten in his North Hollywood home by two young hustlers. They had heard, in error, that he had thousands of dollars locked away somewhere in his home. They never found any money, and Novarro was discovered dead the next day by his servant. Vintage sepia matte-finish 8 x 10 Clarence Sinclair Bull photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Mr. Biddy, Sincerely, Ramon Novarro.” In fine condition, with some slight discoloration to the facial area and background of the image from adhesive remnants on the reverse.
