Description
Incredible young Jimmy Finlayson
Scottish-American actor (1887-1953), best remembered for his 'slow burn' comic style in more than 30 Laurel & Hardy films. His catch phrase 'D'oh!' has been confirmed as the direct inspiration for the similar utterance used by animated father Homer Simpson. Handsome vintage matte-finish 6.5 x 8.5 portrait of Finlayson by Estep of Los Angeles, signed and inscribed in fountain pen to silent actor/comedian Phil Dunham, "To my friend Phil, from, James Finlayson." In fine condition. Finlayson remains rare across all signed formats. This is the earliest example we have ever encountered.
