Frank Grimes A Bridge Too Far Hand Signed Theatre Page

CHAU4467      A specialist opportunity to secure this original hand signed 8" x 6" theatre page from Frank Grimes epic actor of a Bridge Too Far in this rare vintage stage performance in Translations at Manchester who has personally autographed the souvenir where his signature rests perfectly accompanying his special dedicated full page and (bar centrally folded just once from originally posted which is how I will send) in mint condition and undedicated too (bonus further actor hand signing from the play on reverse too - see image 2).

In 1970 the Italian director, Franco Zeffirelli, offered Grimes the lead role of Francis of Assisi in his biopic, Brother Sun, Sister Moon. However, director and actor fell out over how the part should be played and Grimes was replaced by Graham Faulkner.In the early 1970s, Grimes moved to London where he came to the attention of director Lindsay Anderson. Anderson offered him a part in his production of David Storey's play The Farm, the success of which established Grimes' reputation in British theatre.

Grimes' most significant film role to date is the part of Major Fuller in Richard Attenborough's A Bridge Too Far (1977).

However, he is probably best known, in his native Ireland at least, for his performance as Father O'Connor in RTÔøΩ's drama series, Strumpet City. In 1981, Grimes received a Jacob's Award "for his detailed and exceptionally convincing portrayal" of the young priest.
