“Yak” was never really comfortable in the starring role – as he appears here in this rare autographed image. But whether he was doubling for the “Duke”, taking horsefalls as an “Indian” or coordinating the stunts for “Ben Hur” (and driving the chariot in place of Charleton Heston), Canutt was irrepressible and, some claimed, bullet proof. NOTE: The signature is part of the original. Reproduction is not hand-autographed.
