Some of her movies include: Island in the Sun, Rally 'Round the Flag Boys!, and Seven Thieves. Her sister Jackie Collins was a writer of popular "trashy" novels based on the lives of the rich and famous! As of 2021, Joan is still alive at the age of 88!

Important Added Info: This transparency (which is a candid from "Can Heironymus Merkin Ever Forget Mercy Humppe and Find True Happiness?") comes with a studio-created snipe within the sleeve that explains about the transparency (see our image). It also has a 1" x 1" snipe that says "PASSED BY CENSOR LIST NO. 226", which shows that the censors were really worried about sexy images from this movie! We already know that this transparency is surely a studio original, because of how it was consigned to us (see below), but it is nice to also have the studio-created snipe comes with it.

Note that this is a "studio-issued" transparency. What does that mean? It was produced by the studio but is not the camera original. It is very high quality and was created in quantity by the studios and sent to media outlets or other places that had need of the very highest quality image for reproduction purposes (in newspapers, magazines, or elsewhere). In the case of this transparency, it belonged to a Warner Bros. employee who received it when the movie came out and has kept it until the present day, when he has consigned it to us. The transparency is in a plastic sleeve (but we removed it and scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is). It will be sent to the winner of the auction in its plastic sleeve.

This is a very special auction of 710 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, plus lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size.

Also note that this auction is for one or more transparencies, and every one of the 270 auctions of transparencies we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the transparencies in this auction, and, except in the case of very few larger sets of transparencies, we scanned each one individually (see above for what we did on this specific auction), and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the transparencies in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased, if they desire. However, if it indicates above that we did not scan all the transparencies in this auction (which is only true of a very few transparencies), then of course we can only send you the photos we took of the ones we did not scan.
