William Boyd
Pre - Hoppy Movie Stills
The mystery of the missing painting commissioned by Dorothy Sebastian...

Dorothy commissioned California artist Warren Newcombe to paint this picture of Bill Boyd in
his role as Feodor from the movie "The Volga Boatman". This painting is called "Bill Boyd, Movie
Star" measures 80 inches x 48 inches and it was completed in December of 1932.












In the 1940's the painting was sold as part and parcel along with the Malibu Hills house and all of
it's furnishings because at this time William Boyd was trying to get together enough cash to
purchase the rights to the Hopalong Cassidy character.

Who owns the painting today? Where is this painting now? Do you know? No one seems to know
what became of this painting, but I'd love to find out...  Please send me an email!
