Talented American actor (1931–1968) who appeared in such films as Rebel Without a Cause and Twilight of Honor, for which he received an Academy Award nomination. He died of a prescription drug overdose at the age of 36. Stupendous vintage matte-finish 15.5 x 19.5 cardstock Gene Trindl publicity photo of Adams as Johnny Yuma holding a smoking gun, affixed to a Trindl mount of the same size, signed and inscribed in fountain pen to series set decorator, James W. Payne: “For Jimmy—A great guy, a great talent, a great personality and a great picture framer. Thanks for doing your part in making the ‘Rebel’ the best TV show on the air. Your sets and ideas are always ‘Perfection.’ Gratefully—Your friend, Nick (The Rebel).” In fine condition, with some mild rippling along the top border. A handsome and captivating seldom-seen image of this size featuring Adams in character, bearing fantastic association to the series.
