Description
This black and white capture features a portrait of smiling Ricardo Cortez in a suit and cap looking at the camera. Ricardo Cortez was an American actor and film director. He was also credited as Jack Crane early in his acting career. Hollywood executives changed his name from Krantz to Cortez to capitalize on his handsome Latin-like features and the popularity of the silent film era's "Latin lovers" such as Rudolph Valentino, Ramon Novarro, and Antonio Moreno. When it began to circulate that Cortez was not actually Latin, the studios attempted to pass him off as French before a final Viennese origin story. Size: 10" H x 8" W
