Nice vintage Sepia 5"x7" signed photo "Best wishes Andy Devine". This photograph of the quintessential comic sidekick, shown in his youth. Slight toning, matted and framed.
Andy Devine (1905-1977), who first appeared in silent films, was afraid that his rasping voice, the result of a childhood injury, would exclude him from the talkies. On the contrary, it helped make him the quintessential comic sidekick, first in films to Richard Arlen (1939-1941) and Roy Rogers (late 1940s), then on TV to Guy Madison's Wild Bill Hickock (1951-1958), remembered for his line, "Hey, Wild Bill! Wait for me." He hosted a popular children's TV program in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Devine was also a regular on Jack Benny's radio show from 1937.
