Lugosi hung a large oil painting of a nude Clara Bow in his house(s) from 1926 or so until 1956 when he died. Of course, he had a larger painting of himself (not nude!), but by the same artist.
Lovely signed photo!

Yup, that is it. Was it Bow that was in a play with Lugosi and received bruised ribs from his violent onstage simulated love-making?

When I saw this at auction I was surprised that it received little attention, hardly any bids. At first I assumed this was because there is no Rick Allen signature. Still, the item is signed by both Pete Willis and Steve Clark. I have never seen a Def Leppard item with both of these signatures, so I was intrigued and started researching. Turns out this is the second run of the first ever recorded music by Def Leppard. The first run was 1000 pressings and sold out/ otherwise distributed quickly. So they did second and third pressings. For these recordings a studio drummer was used because Rick Allen hadn't joined the band yet. So these four signatures, Joe Elliot (twice), Rick Savage, Pete Willis and Steve Clark, represent the entire band. This piece seems special to me, and I'm glad nobody other than me was interested. If the item description had been more complete, I'm sure it would have gotten more attention.

I'm just as impressed with the framing job on that -- I'm betting you got a nice deal on that. Beautiful piece.

Thank you. Had it framed locally, designed with my frame guy, museum glass, etc.. Have been at this for a while now and finally learned to never buy anything not worth framing properly :).

Great item. I love Def Leppard so much! Got to see them live this year, they absolutely blew the roof on Graspop Metal Meeting \m/

An odd couple for the forensically-minded.
Julian Barnes, well-known English literary giant. Not a difficult autograph to obtain. I would wager one of the most modest, though - you practically need a microscope to see it.
Followed by Dan Kavanagh - pulp-fiction writer of the 1980's. Not active these days.
Same person - can anyone see similarities?
