Actor (1897–1981) discovered by Greta Garbo's mentor Mauritz Stiller (with whom he reportedly had an affair) in the early 1920s. Darkly handsome, he was invited to Hollywood in 1926 and was successful through the early 1930s.  Unfortunately, his strong accent limited his success in sound films. Vintage glossy 8 x 10 MGM head-and-shoulders publicity photo, signed and inscribed in-person in fountain pen “To Sal [sic], Nils Asther.” Reverse of photo bears collector’s stamp date of January 11, 1935, the date the signature was acquired. A few scattered creases and surface impressions, and scattered light rubbing to finish, otherwise fine condition.
