EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Robert Donat, a renowned English actor of the 1930s. Born Friedrich Robert Donath, he made his film debut in 1932 and quickly rose to fame with unforgettable performances in iconic films such as The Ghost Goes West (1935), The 39 Steps (1935), and Goodbye, Mr Chips (1939). It was for his role in the latter that he received the prestigious Best Actor Oscar. In this profile portrait, Donat exudes an air of elegance and charm. His smile is warm and inviting, reflecting his charismatic personality both on and off-screen. Dressed impeccably in a stylish costume, he epitomizes the glamour associated with British cinema during this era. Despite his success, Donat's life was plagued by chronic asthma which ultimately led to his untimely demise shortly after completing his last film, The Inn of the Sixth Happiness in 1958. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of not only Donat's talent but also the fragility of life itself. Preserved within Meet the Film Stars by Seton Margrave from London in 1934-1935, this image showcases Donat's contribution to show business as well as his lasting impact on the world of cinema. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a golden age where actors like Robert Donat captivated audiences with their artistry and left an indelible mark on cinematic history.
