Auction History Result 5z0100 FAY WRAY deluxe 10.25x13 still 1930 the beautiful leading lady in The Texan by Otto Dyar! Date Sold 10/1/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Fay Wray was a Canadian actress from the 1920s to the 1950s. While best remembered for her role in King Kong, she was a major star in the 1920s and 1930s, so it is very unfair that she is solely remembered for that one movie! She also had roles in other great movies, including: The Wedding March, The Most Dangerous Game, and The Bowery. She passed away in 2004 at the age of 96. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this is one of 80 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! We auctioned 100 other stills from this collection in our September Major Auction, and those mostly auctioned for between $30 and $250 each, with a few selling for more, with the highest selling for $535! Now we have 80 more from that collection in this set of auctions. James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
