An original 4.5x6.5" vintage photo from a huge collection of over 400 celebrity (mostly British) hand-signed autographs that we acquired from the estate of a collector named Grace who collected all of the autographs through mail and in person.

We are confident in the autograph's authenticity and are happy to warranty your purchase to this fact. Professionally packaged in a rigid mailer for safe delivery.

Photo Overview

Hilary Tindall gazes directly into the lens in this intimate black and white head-and-shoulders studio portrait, her long hair loose over a casual open-neck shirt. The British actress has personally inscribed the lower right corner in bold black pen, “Best wishes Hilary Tindall,” confirming this is an authentic hand-signed photograph obtained by collector Grace in the early 1970s, most likely during Tindall’s London publicity work while starring as Ann Hammond in the BBC drama “The Brothers.”

Tindall’s nuanced performances on stage and screen won her praise throughout the 1960s and 1970s; “The Brothers” drew weekly audiences of over ten million viewers and helped define British television drama of the era. Original autographs of Tindall are scarce because she retired from acting in the mid-1980s and died in 1992. Secure this genuine piece of television history today before it disappears into another collection.
