Marlon Brando Signed Publicity Still from THE GODFATHER With Impressive LOA. Marlon Brando (1924-2004) considered the greatest actor of a generation, enjoyed a late career renaissance with his masterful, Oscar winning portrayal as Don Corleone in the blockbuster film, THE GODFATHER. Directed by Francis Coppola, the film is considered one of the top 5 films of all time and remains as critically acclaimed and popular today as it was in 1972. A vintage original 8 x 10" publicity still of Brando as The Godfather signed in the bottom white, right-hand border in blue ball point pen just to the left of the Paramount logo. In fact the pen failed to write and you can see the impression of the letter M prior to the name Marlon. Overall excellent condition and a very a difficult to find and highly desirable signed photo. Comes with an impressive Letter of Authenticity by Mr. Brando's long-time personal assistant. After evaluation she has certified this autograph authentic and has issued an LOA on Mr. Brando's personal letter head and envelope having kept a few in her possession. Not only is she fully versed on Mr. Brando's actual signature, but most certainly her own which she freely admits to signing much of Mr. Brando's letters and studio contracts for well over two decades. This piece sold in Auction 92 for over $4300 but went unpaid. Since the sale, the LOA was obtained. and conveys with this sale. Estimate Value $2,000 - 4,000
