Gunnar Milton Hansen (March 4, 1947 – November 7, 2015) was an Icelandic-born American actor and author best known for playing the mentally impaired cannibal and central role of “Leatherface” in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). On Saturday, October 18th, 2014, the MEARS Pop Culture division conducted a very limited private signing with horror movie icon Gunnar Hansen, “Leatherface” from the 1973 movie, “Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. Although he did make the rare appearance on the horror circuit show scene, his traveling schedule had become more limited, and his agent confirmed he had never conducted a private signing. This was his first dedicated private signing and MEARS was honored to have been the host. During the signing, Gunnar signed (100) limited edition 16x20 photos for MEARS. Each one was accompanied by his character’s name, “Leatherface”. Mr. Hansen took great pride in the signing, consistently providing us large, clean, bold signatures. Pens were routinely switched, insuring a high quality signature. To insure the authenticity of the signatures, MEARS will adhere a special Gunnar Hansen hologram to each piece. The holograms are dated October 18th, 2014. This will forever memorialize the date of the signing. JSA has authenticated this photo and is accompanied by their sticker and card.
