An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Woman Doctor, the 1939 Sidney Salkow medical doctor airplane aviation romantic love triangle melodrama ("Race with death at 10,000 feet!"; about a dedicated woman doctor who neglects her pilot husband and her young daughter; he gets a girlfriend who acts nicely to his daughter, and before long, they are divorced and he is living with his girlfriend and his daughter; but she was only pretending to care for the daughter, and when the daughter is badly injured, the father flies her and her mother to a hospital where the mother operates on her and saves her life, and the family reunites, now supporting the mother in her noble career!) starring Frieda Inescort (in the title role as Dr. Judith Randall Graeme), Henry Wilcoxon, Claire Dodd, Sybil Jason (as the daughter), and Cora Witherspoon. Note that Sybil Jason was born in South Africa, but was a singing and dancing child prodigy in England from the age of 2. When she was 6, Jack Warner saw her perform, and signed her to a contract hoping she could be a child star for Warner Bros. to equal Shirley Temple at 20th Century-Fox. However, after a few movies, including starring opposite Al Jolson in "The Singing Kid", she did not deliver the hoped for results, and Warner Bros. did not renew her contract in 1938. Daryl Zanuck signed her at 20th Century-Fox, putting her with Shirley Temple in "The Little Princess". She was supposed to have a major role in "The Blue Bird", opposite Shirley Temple, but most of her scenes were cut from the movie (perhaps because it was feared she would "upstage" Shirley Temple, who was "getting old"!), and she "retired". In 1947, at the age of 18, she married a Navy man, and they had a child and were married for 58 years until his passing in 2006, and she passed away in 2011 at the age of 83!
