Summary edit

Description
English: Vintage press photo of Oscar-winning film actor, Melvyn Douglas. (Won for Hud (1963) & Being There (1979); also nominated for I Never Sang for My Father (1970). He is also known for Ninotchka (1939), with Greta Garbo, among other films from the Golden Age of Hollywood. Douglas is one of the rare recipients of the "Triple Crown of Acting": Oscar, Tony, and Emmy. This differs from the EGOT, as it excludes the Grammy.) Published and distributed by Columbia Pictures for publicity purposes, as indicated by stamp on the back, but without any copyright notice. Thus, this portrait is believed to be in the public domain.
