RR Auction Cecil B. de Mille


Vintage matte-finish 7.5 x 9.5 head-and-shoulders photo, signed and inscribed vertically in fountain pen “To Billy Wilder—my director—who prevented a ham from being roasted—with appreciation—Cecil B. deMille.” In fine condition. de Mille is most likely referring to the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard, directed by Wilder, in which de Mille appeared as himself. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
