MAYER 8x10 still 1930s greeting in Hollywood after long trip abroad! Date Sold 3/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) Irving G. Thalberg was a producer, writer and director from the 1920s to the 1930s. In 1920 at 21, he became an executive at Universal Studios, which was then the number one movie studio. He did well there, but he had a failed romance with owner Carl Laemmle's daughter, which likely caused him to leave the studio, and he signed with Louis B. Mayer. When Mayer joined with Metro to form MGM, Thalberg rose in the ranks at the new combined studio and helped turn MGM into the number one studio. He married actress Norma Shearer, and greatly helped her career at MGM. While he made most of the decisions at MGM, he took no screen credit, except on a single movie! Tragically, he died in 1936 of pneumonia, at just 37. AND Louis B. Mayer was a legendary producer from the 1910s to the 1950s. He founded his own production company in the 1910s, and later later merged with Goldwyn Pictures Corporation and Metro Pictures to form Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, which he headed from 1924 to 1951! He passed away in 1957 at the age of 73. Important Added Info: Note that the snipe on the back of this still references Thalberg returning from a 7 month trip. We found reference on the Internet to Thalberg and his wife Norma Shearer taking a European trip in 1931, so that might well be when this is from. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. The still was used in a newspaper magazine, and there is a faint circle around the upper body of the two men, indicating the part that was reproduced (see our super-sized image).
