The finest signed Burgess Meredith Photograph on eBay is this signed 8 X 10 Pinchot photographer studio photograph of a young Meredith signed and inscribed 1933/34 “Best wishes from Beech Nut and Burgess Meredith – Red Davis,” in blue fountain pen. Meredith played Red Davis on the radio soap titled Red Davis sponsored by Beech Nut gum. (Show was formerly called Red Adams but in 1933 upon Beech Nut sponsorship was changed to Red Davis as “Adams” was the name of a competing chewing gum product). Meredith would leave the program in 1934, fixing the short window during which he signed and inscribed this awesome photograph.
Burgess was such a talented actor of film, theater and television and is the first male actor to win the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actor twice (Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films) and was nominated for two Academy awards. Later in his career that spanned six decades, Meredith was known for his appearances on “The Twilight Zone” television series, and as The Penguin in the 1960s “Batman” television series.
