The featured “What About Bob” 8 x 10 Photo has been signed in blue by award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss who portrayed Dr Leo Marvin in this comedy classic. Dr Leo Marvin is a modestly successful but incredibly egotistical psychiatrist with a wife named Fay, two children named Sigmund and Anna, and a sister named Lily (whom he deeply cares for). He is looking forward to his upcoming appearance on Good Morning America so he can promote his new book Baby Steps, but before he can head to his vacation home at Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, where the interview will be conducted, he is asked to treat Bob Wiley (Bill Murray) by a fellow psychiatrist (whom Bob has almost driven insane). The Photo includes an official Beckett Authentication Services serially numbered hologram for authenticity purposes. The signing of this item was witnessed by Beckett.
