Photo: Franchot Signing Autographs, 1951

Franchot signing autographs for waitresses at the Sky Chef Restaurant in Denver in September 1951. This photo was apparently taken less than two weeks after the infamous fight between Tom Neal and Franchot over Barbara Payton. Franchot would have just been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for the injuries he sustained.

I've not yet written about the fight, because I think that, unfortunately, Franchot's name has become more tied with that incident than with his film contributions. I will definitely write about it in the future, but for now, I'd rather focus on his amazing work and other interesting details about his life. I feel like Franchot might prefer it that way.
