This Life Magazine cover ran alongside an article dedicated to Robinson
starring in the Jackie Robinson Story, a biopic about his life.
“But Jackie Robinson is having his story told by Hollywood while he is
still one of the best players in baseball. And Jackie does not need any
actor to copy him; he has gone out and played himself. . . . He fitted
into his new role as film star with the same easygoing grace and cold
determination that have carried him through his whole career. Robinson
plays the part with the natural charm of a born screen personality.”
