Auction History Result 3z0515 QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE insert 1958 sexy Zsa Zsa Gabor, by Hecht & Beaumont, ultra rare! Date Sold 3/16/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Queen of Outer Space, the 1958 Edward Bernds science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy space adventure thriller ("26 Million Miles Through The Unknown Universe -- To The Indescribable Terrors and Beauties of Planet Venus!"; "Mankind's First Fantastic Flight to Venus -- the Female Planet!"; "From a story by Ben Hecht"; "Screenplay by Charles Beaumont") starring Zsa Zsa Gabor (often mistaken for playing the title role!), Eric Fleming, Dave Willock, Laurie Mitchell (in the title role as Queen Yllana), Lisa Davis, and Paul Birch. Note that Ben Hecht, who is given credit for the story, and Charles Beaumont, credited with the screenplay, were two of the most talented writers ever to work in Hollywood. So how did they end up working on this low budget cheesy grade Z movie? Legend has it that Hecht told the story at a party, and someone who overheard it started making a movie of it, and Hecht heard about it and demanded screen credit! As to Charles Beaumont, it surely was the low point of his otherwise illustrious career! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned two in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2007! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has minor fold and border wear (slightly more so along the upper horizontal fold) and some faint scuffs in portions of the image (with a few in Gabor's red dress and in some background areas). It has two small tears at right and the upper one slightly enters the background (see our image). There are small, stray pencil marks in the lower edge. There are tiny pinholes in the upper corners and there is a tiny scratch with tiny paper loss to the right of Gabor's knee (near the other woman's foot). Overall the poster is generally in pretty nice condition and it displays quite well at a reasonable viewing distance, and after paperbacking with some proper restoration the rare poster would look great!
