Mexican-born actor who played Kerim Bey (as Pedro Armendariz) in From Russia with Love. Died of self-inflicted gunshot wound, perhaps prompted by his impending slow death from cancer. Was one of 91 people, along with John Wayne, Susan Hayward, and Agnes Moorehead, whose cancer was attributed to their exposure to radioactivity while working on the film The Conqueror (1956). Vintage glossy 7 x 5 close-up photo of the smiling actor wearing a large sombrero, signed in fountain pen. In very good condition, with toning and adhesive residue to the edges, a couple of corner creases, scattered surface impressions and faint discoloration at the edges. R&R COA.
