Condition: Good. Vintage photograph signed in ink. 13 x 9 cm. Britain's first above-the-title film star of Indian origin - indeed, for many years India's only truly international star - Sabu's own life story was as unlikely and fantastic as that of many of the characters he played. Despite his lack of acting experience and a less than perfect command of English, it's easy to see from his opening straight-to-camera narration alone just why the veteran documentarist Robert Flaherty was literally charmed into casting him as Toomai, the title role of Elephant Boy (1937).His full name is the subject of some controversy. Most reference books have it as 'Sabu Dastagir', but his son Paul confirmed that his real name was Selar Sabu, although his brother's was Sheik Dastagir. Sabu was born on 27 January 1924 in Karapure, Mysore, in southern India and his early life has many parallels with Toomai's: his mother died when he was very young and he was raised by his father, a mahout, or elephant driver. When he too died in 1931, the six-year-old Sabu was taken into the service of the Maharajah of Mysore, first as a stable boy, then as a mahout in his own right, and it was when riding one of his beloved elephants that Flaherty first saw him when looking for someone to play Rudyard Kipling's Toomai of the Elephants (from 'The Jungle Book').Sabu remained in Hollywood for the duration of World War II. He made a final film for Korda, The Jungle Book (US, 1942), which brought his London Films career full circle in that it returned to the source of Elephant Boy, the actor being as natural as Mowgli as he had previously been as Toomai. He remained in Hollywood after his contract expired, signing with Universal Pictures to make a quartet of films opposite Maria Montez, becoming a US citizen in 1944 and flying several missions for the US Air Force as a tail-gunner towards the end of the war.

Blatt. Condition: Gut. Mittig geknickter Ausschnitt aus Filmprogramm von Sabu bildseitig mit schwarzem Stift signiert /// Autogramm Autograph signiert signed signee /// Sabu (eigentlich Sabu Dastagir, Hindi ???? ???????; auch Selar Shaik Sabu;[1] * 27. Januar 1924 in Karapura bei Mysore, Karnataka, Indien; ? 2. Dezember 1963 in Chatsworth, Kalifornien) war ein indisch-US-amerikanischer Schauspieler. Sabu war der erste indische Schauspieler, der es durch britische und amerikanische Filme zu Weltruhm brachte. Er wurde als Sohn eines Mahuts und Stallbursche des Maharadschas von Mysore von Robert J. Flaherty und Zoltan Korda für den halbdokumentarischen Film Elefanten-Boy 1937 entdeckt.[2][3] Seine größten Erfolge feierte er Anfang der 1940er Jahre mit den Abenteuerfilmen Der Dieb von Bagdad und Das Dschungelbuch. Diese Filme waren für ihn das Sprungbrett nach Hollywood. Er unterschrieb einen Vertrag bei Universal, konnte jedoch nie an die Erfolge der Filme seiner Jugend anknüpfen. Am 4. Januar 1944 wurde Sabu US-amerikanischer Staatsbürger. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs diente er in der amerikanischen Luftwaffe als Heckschütze in Flugzeugen einer B-25-Bombergruppe im Pazifik. Er wurde dafür mit dem Distinguished Flying Cross ausgezeichnet.[4] Ab Ende der 1940er Jahre spielte er vorwiegend Nebenrollen oder in zweitklassigen Produktionen. Sein letzter Film für Disney, A Tiger Walks (1964), wurde posthum veröffentlicht und erhielt noch einmal gute Kritiken. Sabu heiratete 1948 die amerikanische Schauspielerin Marilyn Cooper (1923-2022).[5] Sie waren bis zu seinem Tod verheiratet und hatten zwei Kinder, darunter war der Komponist Paul Sabu (* 1960).[6] Sabu starb im Alter von 39 Jahren überraschend an einem Herzinfarkt und wurde im Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood beigesetzt.[7] Ehrungen Auf dem Hollywood Walk of Fame in Hollywood wurde 1960 bei ?6251 Hollywood Boulevard? ein Stern für Sabu eingelassen.[8][4][9] Das seit Mitte März 2003 bestehende Studiokino mit 150 Plätzen im Keller der Lichtburg in Essen ist nach Sabu benannt.[10][11] /// Standort Wimregal Ill-Umschl2025-018 hi Gewicht in Gramm: 10.
