LEW AYRES The actor poses in a suit and leans against a chair in this signed black and white photograph Inscribed photograph signed: “To La Verue -/ warmest greetings/ from Lew Ayres/ 1983/ Photo 1947″ in blue felt tip. A leading man through the 1940s, he earned an Oscar nomination for Best Actor in Johnny Belinda (1948). He starred as Dr. Kildare in a series of feature films, but refused to play the role on television because cigarettes were to be advertised on the program. Misidentified as a conscientious objector because of his desire to serve as a combat medic, Ayers was temporarily blacklisted in Hollywood during World War II. He remained active in movie and television character roles through the 1980s, but never achieved the same level of popularity he had in the period just before WWII. Credits Ayres earned later in his career include Lime Street (1985) alongside Robert Wagner and guest appearances on Little House on the Prairie and Knots Landing (both in 1982). The actor was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. See more material from these signers. See more listings in our ACTORS & ACTRESSES (13,291).
