Classic Film/Portrait of an actor

Advertisement


Question
I have a painting of a portrait of an actor.  It is believed to be from about the 50's era.  The painting was found in a dump in California.  When the painting was found, there were also some letters and a newspaper clipping that eluded to the painting being an actor.  I'm wondering where I could send a copy to find out who the actor is?  The painting is just wonderful and the man looks familiar to everyone I've shown it to.  Thank you in advance.

Answer
Hi Julie,
How interesting about the painting!  I'd love to see a photo of it, to see if I can identify who it might be.  Can you forward a "jpg" copy (or any other method) to me by email??
My address is:  Ising2unow@aol.com.
Hope I can be of some help.
