Louis Gossett Jr Signed 8x10 Photo !!! in very good condition.....scene from 1987 movie "The Principal" with James Belushi
Having been an acclaimed performer on stage and decorated for his work
on screen, actor Louis Gossett, Jr. was unable to sustain the kind of
quality career worthy of someone who has won both an Emmy and Academy
Award. After making a splash on Broadway while only 16 years old,
Gossett made his name with acclaimed performances in "The Desk Set"
(1955) and "A Raisin in the Sun" (1959), while making slower strides on
television and in feature films. He finally became a star with his
Emmy-winning performance in the groundbreaking miniseries, "Roots" (ABC,
1977), which opened fewer doors than one would have imagined. With his
strong performance as a tough-as-nails drill sergeant in "An Officer and
a Gentleman" (1982), Gossett became the first African-American to win
an Academy Awards since Sidney Poitier in 1964. But the offers for
quality material failed to roll in, which plunged the actor into a
depression made worse by drug and alcohol abuse. He managed to pull
himself out of his rut with numerous made-for-television movies and a
well-liked role as an Air Force colonel in "Iron Eagle" (1985). Though
sometimes confined to rather forgettable straight-to-video thrillers,
Gossett's long and varied career allowed him to be regarded as one of
the more respected performers of his generation.
