A Black and White Photo of
Actor Martin Sheen

Publicity Photo

Signed by Martin Sheen

Description: In addition to meeting actors and other movie/tv people at science fiction conventions and book festivals, I also bought a number of already autographed photos from dealers. This photo came from the private collection of Gil Moody of Moody Books, a bookstore that specialized in getting authors and other celebrities to sign bookplates that Moody books could then sell. Inscribed and dated 'To Martha (two words I can't make out), Love 3/27/95' by Martin Sheen.

In 2010 the company (Estevez Sheen Productions) released The Way, written and directed by Sheen's son Emilio Estevez, who also stars in the film. (Martin’s daughter Renée also has a part in the film.) Martin plays an American doctor, whose son, played by Estevez, dies while hiking the Camino de Santiago. Driven by sadness, Martin's character leaves his Californian life and embarks on the 800 km (500 mi) pilgrimage from the French Pyrenees to Spain's Santiago de Compostela, taking his son's ashes with him. The Way premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. (Seller's note: This is one of my wife's favorite films).
