Cat. #00116472: RODNEY DANGERFIELD

Vintage 8x10-inch black and white publicity portrait, rare in that most examples one encounters are secretarially signed, boldly signed and inscribed in purple felt-tip marker for an inveterate autograph hound, active in the 1970s and early 1980s. In good condition. Note that the glare suggested in the image shown here is not actually present, but due to our camera. Bug-eyed, manic comedian Rodney Dangerfield, who gained fame for his self-deprecating "no respect" routine, was hilarious in Caddyshack (1980), Easy Money (1983), Back to School (1986), Ladybugs (1992), and other flicks. He was genuinely disturbing, out of character as Juliette Lewis' abusive father who meets a brutal end, in Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers (1994).
