An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" (8x10) Movie Still (Learn More) Deanna Durbin was a Canadian juvenile actress and singer from the 1930s to the 1940s. In 1935, when she was just 13 years old, she sang an operatic aria at a Hollywood benefit, and Universal Studios was so impressed, they signed her to a long term contract (which turned out to be a wonderful move on their part)! She was studying opera with the Spanish opera star Andres de Segurola, but she dropped that when she started movies. Some of her movies include: Mad About Music, It Started with Eve, Three Smart Girls Grow Up, One Hundred Men and a Girl, and Every Sunday. In the early 1940s, she was Universal's biggest star and in 1947 she was the highest paid female star in Hollywood. Deanna abruptly retired from acting in 1948 at the age of 26 and withdrew from public life. She passed away in 2013 at the age of 91. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Deanna Durbin! Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. There is a stamp on the back of the still that reads, "PLEASE CREDIT PHOTO BY RAY JONES". Also note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2", but it does not appear to be trimmed. Note that this is one of seven signed stills we were consigned (we are auctioning the other six separately). All were obtained by a woman named Annabelle, who visited Universal Pictures at some point during the 1930s, and obtained these seven signed photos at that time! Condition: very good to fine.
