Auction History Result 5x567 MADELEINE CARROLL 8x10 key book still 1937 beautiful portrait of the star by Irving Lippman! Date Sold 4/22/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Madeleine Carroll was an English actress from the 1920s to the 1950s. She was a beautiful, classy blonde, just the type that Alfred Hitchcock would want for all of his later movies, and it is not surprising that she had starring roles in two classic Alfred Hitchcock movies: "The 39 Steps" and "Secret Agent". In 1935, Alexander Korda sold her contract to Paramount, and they put her in a series of movies, billing her as "the most beautiful woman in the world". Some of her other movies include: The Prisoner of Zenda, North West Mounted Police, and My Favorite Blonde. She passed away in 1987 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: Note that there is a date stamp on the back of this still. That is the date that our consignor PURCHASED the still (he was active in the 1970s and 1980s), and it in no way relates to when the still is from (it is a vintage still from the date we say it is from in the auction title). We have seen several collectors over the years who like to do this with their collection, so that they could keep track of when they purchased items. Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top (or in this case, the bottom), with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left or top of the still. Condition: good to very good. The bottom 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). There are faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the still. Learn More about condition grades
