EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the multifaceted talent of Nat Pendleton, an American Olympic wrestler turned actor. Taken between 1934-1935, this portrait showcases Pendleton's charismatic smile and rugged charm. Pendleton first gained recognition as a silver medalist at the 1920 Summer Olympics, representing his country with pride in the sport of wrestling. However, it was in the late 1920s that he ventured into acting, making a name for himself by portraying menacing characters on screen. While Pendleton played various roles throughout his career, he is best remembered for his portrayal of Eugen Sandow, the circus strongman in the Oscar-winning film "The Great Ziegfeld" (1936). This iconic performance solidified his place in Hollywood history. With this photograph captured from "Meet the Film Stars" by Seton Margrave in London during the early 20th century, we catch a glimpse of Pendleton's undeniable star power. His confident demeanor and striking features make him an unforgettable presence within both sports and entertainment industries. Nat Pendleton remains an emblematic figure who seamlessly transitioned from one arena to another - from wrestling mats to movie sets. This image serves as a testament to his remarkable journey and enduring legacy as both an accomplished athlete and talented actor.
