Description
Found this photo in a box which I inherited from my mom. She liked to write to celebrities and ask for photos. Harry Lillis "Bing" Crosby Jr. (May 3, 1903 – October 14, 1977) was an American singer, comedian and actor. The first multimedia star, Crosby was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He was a leader in record sales, radio ratings, and motion picture grosses from 1930 to 1954. He made over seventy feature films and recorded more than 1,600 songs. Bing Crosby’s movie “White Christmas “ with Danny Kaye is a Christmas classic.
This is a publicity photo taken to promote a film actor. As stated by film production expert Eve Light Honthaner in The Complete Film Production Handbook, (Focal Press, 2001 p. 211.):
"Publicity photos have traditionally not been copyrighted. Since they are disseminated to the public, they are generally considered public domain, and therefore clearance by the studio that produced them is not necessary."
Copyright on this specific photo with signature is owned by Johanna Hurmerinta, who has the original photo and have edited it for POD sales on Fine Art America.
