Mexican-born actor who played Kerim Bey in From Russia with Love. Died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, prompted by his impending slow death from cancer. He was one of 91 people, along with John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Agnes Moorehead, whose cancer was attributed to their exposure to radioactivity while working on the 1956 film The Conqueror. Vintage fountain pen signature and inscription, “Para Warren, Un saludo de de Pedro Armendariz,” on a light green 5.5 x 4.5 album page, with collector’s notation along bottom edge. In fine condition.
