Auction History Result 1r0225 FRANCES DEE signed deluxe 11x14 still '30s head & shoulders c/u of the beautiful brunette! Date Sold 8/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Frances Dee was born in 1909, and she started as an extra while still a teenager. Her great beauty gained her more important roles, but she was almost always cast as a "good girl" (except in the pre-Code Blood Money, where she described her role as a "masochistic nymphomaniacal kleptomaniac"). But she usually was the second female lead in movies like Little Women, Of Human Bondage, and Becky Sharp. She had a few lead roles, but she met Joel McCrea while they were making a movie together in 1933, and they married that same year, and after that her marriage and their three sons took center stage in her life. She made sporadic movie and TV appearances in the 1940s and early 1950s (most notably in I Walked With a Zombie!), and then she completely retired in 1954, and McCrea basically retired in 1962, and the two lived together at their 300 acre ranch in Thousand Oaks, California (they were quite wealthy). They remained married until he passed away in 1990, and she passed away in 2004 at the age of 94. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Frances Dee! Note that our consignor purchased this item (along with several other signed items that we are currently auctioning) from a man who wrote to celebrities in the 1940s and 1950s, requesting that they donate a signed photo as a prize at a winter carnival that he ran where the proceeds went to charity, and many of the celebrities sent him signed photos! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good. The still itself is in nice condition (it has two punch holes at the left, perhaps indicating it was a key book still). The signature is not very prominent, and it is difficult to tell if it has faded or if it was always that way. Learn More about condition grades
