Vintage original 10 x 8” (25 x 20 cm.) photo, USA. Minor creasing, NEAR FINE. Dir: Victor Fleming; MGM.

Extremely scarce photo of gifted African American character actor Oscar Polk. He is pictured on the Selznick lot during filming of the epic classic film GONE WITH THE WIND. Besides this film, Polk’s credits include THE GREEN PASTURES, CABIN IN THE SKY, and two Oscar Micheaux films.

The studio has printed on back some descriptive text, labeling his character as “FAITHFUL AND TRUE.”
