PETER GRAVES
B/w movie still of Golden Globe-actor Peter Graves talking to two
women, signed "To All the Girls!" with his "Best Wishes"
Inscribed photograph signed "To All the Girls!/Best Wishes/Peter
Graves" in blue ink. B/w, 8x10 overall, 7½x9½ image, one surface. Graves
(1926-2010), born Peter Aurness, appeared in 130 movies, TV shows and
video games between 1951 and 2010, but is probably best known as James
Phelps, the leader of an elite covert operations unit on the weekly TV adventure
series Mission: Impossible (1967-1973). The role earned him a
Golden Globe in 1971 and an Emmy Award nomination. (He reprised Phelps in a
revamp of the series, which lasted from 1988 to 1990) Modern audiences may also
know him as a presenter on the long-running documentary series
Biography (1994-2006). Graves often played straight-arrow,
authoritative figures, which the team of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker brilliantly
lampooned with Captain Clarence "Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
Oveur in Airplane! (1980) and its sequel Airplane II: The
Sequel (1982). Graves paid his dues in a long string of B movies before
Mission: Impossible. One of his more memorable roles from this period was
a Nazi spy in the war movie classic Stalag 17 (1953). But
Mystery Science Theatre 3000 fans may also recognize Graves from no less
than five movies savaged by Joel, Mike and the 'bots: It Conquered the
World (1956), Beginning of the End (1957), Attack of the Eye
Creatures (1965), SST: Death Flight (1977) and Parts: The Clonus
Horror (1979). He was the younger brother of actor James Arness. Fine
condition.
