An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Mary Brian (born Louise Byrdie Dantzler) was an actress from the 1920s to the 1950s. She was born in 1906 in Texas, and in 1923, her stage mother took her to Hollywood, determined to make her a star. After much effort, she was signed to appear in Peter Pan as Wendy, and that got her a five year movie contract. She was a "girl next door" type, and was nicknamed "The Sweetest Girl in Pictures". She had no problem making the transition to sound, but in the early 1930s, when flapper and vamp types became more popular, roles became fewer, and she took secondary parts. In 1936, she made a movie in England, and then went to Broadway, and in the 1950s, she had success on television. Some of her movies include: Brown of Harvard, Beau Geste, Man on the Flying Trapeze, and The Virginian. She passed away in 2002 at the age of 96. Important Added Info: Note that this is a still we were consigned that came from the "Deltah Pearls" company, which was a jewelry store in Los Angeles in the late 1920s. It appears that they hired a bunch of famous actresses to pose with a Deltah Pearls necklace, and then they created these deluxe stills which have a gold Deltah Pearls shield attached to the bottom right of the image, plus a facsimile autograph of that star (we don't know how these deluxe stills were distributed). If anyone knows more about them, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this still measures 10 3/4" x 14" [27 x 36 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. There are faint horizontal scuffs scattered in the still. There is darkening in the bottom 2" and paper loss in the bottom left blank corner. Learn More about condition grades
