^Lot 1315 Donald Pleasance

Glossy 8 x 10 publicity photo of Pleasance as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice, signed and inscribed in black ballpoint “With kind regards to John Groves, Donald Pleasance.” In fine condition, with some light contrast to portion of signature and inscription. Pleasance’s role in the film was the first time Blofeld’s face had been shown in any Bond film, and he was awarded the role after the producers fired Jan Werich.
