Date Sold 11/12/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) Lionel Atwill was an English-born actor from the 1910s until his passing in 1946. Some of his movies include: Eve's Daughter, The Highest Bidder, Doctor X, Captain Blood, Son of Frankenstein, and Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon AND Rita Hayworth was born in 1918. During the early 1940s she was one of the greatest sex symbols the movies has ever had, most notably in the 1946 movie, Gilda. But she was born Margarita Cansino, and was originally a child dancer with her father. She later caught the attention of Harry Cohn at Columbia, who cast her as a sexy dancer in some late 1930s movies, first billing her as Rita Cansino, and then renaming her to Hayworth (her mother's maiden name). Cohn did all he could to get rid of her Spanish ethnicity, changing her name, having her dye her black hair red, and having her hairline raised! She made many memorable dance movies (including ones opposite both Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly!), but she is probably best remembered for her five steamy melodramas opposite Glenn Ford. She had a tumultuous private life, marrying five times, most memorably to Orson Welles and Prince Aly Khan (this was before Grace Kelly married her prince!). Her most famous quote (explaining why she married so many times) was "Every man I have ever known has fallen in love with Gilda and awakened with me." She exhibited erratic behavior in her later years because she suffered from early Alzheimer's, which went undiagnosed for quite some time, and in those later years until her death she was cared for by her daughter, Princess Yasmin Khan, who has also been a champion of raising money for Alzheimer's research. She is also best remembered for her roles in The Lady from Shanghai, Only Angels Have Wings, Separate Tables, Tales of Manhattan, and many others! Important Added Info: What an incredible candid still this is! Somehow, lucky Lionel Atwill ended up at Jacqueline Wells' party at her beach house, and of course, there were celebrity photographers there, and Lionel went for a stroll along the beach with six of the gorgeous women at the party, most notably young Rita Hayworth! The other women were Jacqueline Wells, Pat Farr, Jean Bishop, Paula Stone, and Helen Mack. Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good. There is a faint vertical crease in the center of the woman to the right of Atwill, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
