Original 1947 AP Wirephoto showing young actor Claude "Jodie" Jarman Jr. in football gear at Montgomery Bell Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. Jarman, Academy Award winner for the motion picture The Yearling, is pictured posing as a football player while attending the school, where the original caption identifies him as playing defensive tackle and offensive fullback. The original caption is printed directly on the photograph. Measures approximately 6 x 8¼ inches. Old tape remains visible on the corners, along with expected age, handling wear, edge wear, toning and newsroom/archive use. An unusual crossover image combining classic Hollywood and vintage football. This photo came from the archive of a Pittsburgh area newspaper.
