Rex Reason (1928-2015) was born in Berlin, Germany. A tall (6’3”), handsome, leading man with a distinctive baritone speaking voice, Reason is perhaps best known for his role as stalwart, heroic scientist Dr. Cal Meacham in the science fiction film “This Island, Earth” (1955). Reason co-starred as sympathetic scientist Dr. Tom Morgan in the third—and final—installment of Universal International Pictures’ “Creature from the Black Lagoon” horror film series in “The Creature Walks Among Us” (1956). On January 2nd, 2015, we arranged for a private autograph signing at the home of Rex Reason. We focused on items from both of his iconic movie roles. To celebrate “This Island, Earth” we had 16x20 B&W studio photos signed of Rex versus the Mutant. Inspired by the movie poster, we completed a full color piece which nailed the key moments of the film. For collectors of small items, 3x5 cards and trading card sized photos rounded out the offerings. New blue sharpie markers were used and Shirley worked diligently to swap out pens after every 20 or so signatures. Keeping with our traditional concept, a full color 16x20 was produced to celebrate “The Creature Walks Among Us”, again using the original movie poster as our inspiration. Custom trading card sized photos and index cards completed the private signing.
