GLEASON, Jackie (1916-87) and
PRYOR, Richard (1940-2005)
Return to Catalogue

GLEASON, Jackie (1916-87) – The “Great One,” a legendary comic and star of stage, screen and TV; and PRYOR, Richard (1940-2005) – Edgy, sometimes controversial, always funny stand-up comic and actor; his life tragically cut short by multiple sclerosis. A groundbreaking talent; certainly the first African American stand-up comedian to speak candidly and successfully to integrated audiences using the language and jokes blacks previously only shared among themselves when they were most critical of America. Signed Photograph; 10”x8” measure black and white glossy character still, 1982, from the Columbia Pictures release The Toy. Boldly signed by both Pryor and Gleason. Pryor is decked out in a maid’s outfit with Gleason smiling. Photograph is in excellent condition. Very uncommon signed by both. $150
