Description

Rootin’ Tootin’ Hoot Gibson portrait

Appeared in over 200 films. Won the title "World's All Around Champion Cowboy" at age 20. In the 1950s the out-of-work cowboy star was reduced to working as a Las Vegas casino greeter and performing in carnivals in order to handle the enormous debts that mounted after a series of cancer operations. Wonderful vintage glossy 5.5 x 7 portrait of Gibson in cowboy hat, kerchief and shirt, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint “To Dickie, Success always, Hoot.” Accompanied by a newspaper obituary of the cowboy star. The photo also bears a facsimile signature in the lower right. In fine condition. R&R COA.
