Auction History Result 3t1421 JEAN ARTHUR 8x10 key book still 1930s modeling Japanese kimono holding fan by picture! Date Sold 2/14/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Jean Arthur was famous during the 1920s to the 1950s as a smart, cute, sassy, and sexy screen personality. She was a major star of the 1930s, but she was far from an "overnight success"! She was born in 1900, and appeared in 46 silent movies, mostly in minor roles. Once sound movies began, she quickly gained stardom, no doubt partially due to her distinctive voice, and she became a major star in her middle thirties! Her final movie (a great choice for a swan song) was Shane. Some of her movies include: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, You Can't Take It with You, Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, Seven Chances, The More The Merrier (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Only Angels Have Wings, The Talk of the Town, The Whole Town's Talking, and many more! She passed away in 1991 at the age of 90. Important Added Info: Note that we can't tell what movie this still is from, or if it was just some sort of publicity still. It seems to surely be from the very early 1930s at the latest. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
