[BEN-HUR]: JAFFE SAM (1891-1984) American actor, an Academy Award nominee noted for his portrayal of Simonides in the American religious epic film Ben-Hur (1959) amongst otjer films. A good vintage signed and inscribed sepia 10 x 8.5 photograph of the young actor in a head and shoulders pose. Photograph by Eugene Robert Richee for Paramount Pictures and bearing his credit stamp to the verso. Signed by Jaffe in bold pencil to a largely light area of the background with an inscription to Clara Bow, ´To Clara, I hope I won´t spoil you by telling you that I think you will be the biggest star on the screen, Sam Jaffe´ and dated 9th September 1926 in his hand. Signed photographs of Jaffe from this early stage of his career are scarce and the present example has an excellent association. VG

Clara Bow (1905-1965) American actress who became known as the ´It Girl´ and was regarded as a sex symbol who personified the Roaring Twenties.
