Date Sold 5/10/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Deanna Durbin was a Canadian juvenile actress and singer from the 1930s to the 1940s. In 1935, when she was just 13 years old, she sang an operatic aria at a Hollywood benefit, and Universal Studios was so impressed, they signed her to a long term contract (which turned out to be a wonderful move on their part)! She was studying opera with the Spanish opera star Andres de Segurola, but she dropped that when she started movies. Some of her movies include: Mad About Music, It Started with Eve, Three Smart Girls Grow Up, One Hundred Men and a Girl, and Every Sunday. In the early 1940s, she was Universal's biggest star and in 1947 she was the highest paid female star in Hollywood. Deanna abruptly retired from acting in 1948 at the age of 26 and withdrew from public life. She passed away in 2013 at the age of 91. Important Added Info: Note that this set of stills (and a number of others, both sets and singles) come from a recently discovered collection of mostly 1930s stills (but with some from the 1920s, and some from the 1940s and 1950s) that came from the estate of a longtime journalist who wrote about these movies and visited the sets of many movies and were given these stills at that time. They are all rare original stills from the first release of the movies, and some have cool candid images. We auctioned a similar group of stills from this wonderful collection in our auctions that closed April 12, 2022, and now we are auctioning almost all of the remaining stills from this collection (in singles and sets, just as they were last time). After this set of auctions, there will be only a handful left from this collection, so this is pretty much your last opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills, including some from movies you almost never see anything from! Note also that each still has a paper snipe on the back giving information about the scene on the front! Condition: very good. The stills are in pretty nice condition!
