Auction History Result 6t614 HATTIE MCDANIEL 7.75x9.75 still '40 bewildered receiving her Best Supporting Actress Oscar! Date Sold 3/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Hattie McDaniel was an actress from the 1930s to the 1950s. She was one of the first black African American performers to achieve success in mainstream Hollywood movies. She is best remembered for her role as "Mammy" in "Gone with the Wind", and she appeared in 95 movies between 1932 and 1949, and she had her own TV show, "Beulah", in the 1950s. She was even the inspiration for the "Mammy Two Shoes" character in the Tom & Jerry cartoons! But because she almost exclusively played stereotyped roles throughout her career, her work is little seen today (except of course for "Gone with the Wind"). That is especially unfortunate, because she had an even more significant career than most people realize. She is believed to be the first black woman to sing on the radio (in 1915), and she was a major vaudeville and cabaret singing star in the 1910s and 1920s! Perhaps a movie can be made about her remarkable career. McDaniel passed away in 1952 at the age of 59. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
