TomJH Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Nehemiah Persoff's death was a reminder of an actor who took up painting in his retirement I can think of two other actors who painted, both of them skillful. Henry Fonda KIm Novak Would anyone know of any other actors who painted? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Gorman Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Yes, JIM CARREY has been busy painting for a while now. How much talent he has in regards to his painting I do not know . . . but he *IS* doing quite a bit of painting. He said so in a recent interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Whorf's work is really impressive. He had a brother, John, also an artist. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomJH Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 During his retirement James Cagney took up painting, often socializing with painters in the process. He considered himself an amateur, only selling one canvas during his lifetime, apparently (to Johnny Carson). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJH Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 Marilyn Monroe, the inspiration for Andy Warhol among hundreds of other artists, painted this delicate red rose in 1962, two months before her death. She had intended to give the water colour to John F. Kennedy but he never received it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
