Animal House is considered by many fans and critics as one of the greatest comedy films ever made. Largely responsible for defining and launching the "gross out" film genre (now a Hollywood staple), it stars, among others, a young John Belushi. Of the younger lead actors, only the 28-year-old Belushi was an established star, thanks to his television appearances on Saturday Night Live. This film really launched Belushi's film career, which would solidify his place among Hollywood legends. Unfortunately, his career and life were cut short in 1982 due to a drug-related accident. Because of this untimely death at the height of his career, authentic John Belushi autographs of any kind are few and far between. Offered here is the height of all Belushi memorabilia, and 8" x 10" color Universal Studios promotional photograph from his breakout movie "Animal House," signed by the comedian in black felt tip marker. The photo features Belushi on the bleachers with two cheerleaders, wearing his beloved "COLLEGE" sweatshirt. In fine condition with very light handling wear and toning. Don't miss out on this seldom-seen opportunity! Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
