Auction History Result 9a312 GEORGE RAFT 8x10.25 still '32 most sensational shooting star in fedora & trench coat! Date Sold 7/1/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) George Raft (born George Ranft) was a legendary tough guy actor (specializing in crime and film noir roles) from the 1920s to the 1980s. Like James Cagney, he actually WAS born in a tough neighborhood in New York City, so his tough guy persona was honestly earned! Note that he first appeared in movies in minor roles in 1929, but it took three years and seven movies before he got his big break in Howard Hughes' "Scarface" (where he played Paul Muni's coin-flipping henchman). After that, he was rushed into six movies in the rest of 1932 alone, and he remained a major star (mostly in gangster roles) for many years. Some of his other movies include: Each Dawn I Die, Manpower, If I Had a Million, They Drive by Night, and Some Like It Hot (in a great cameo where he played a parody of his earlier gangster roles). He passed away in 1980 at the age of 79. Important Added Info: Note that this still was made in 1932 right after Raft became a major star with his role in "Scarface". But because he had been signed by Paramount, they did not mention that movie at all on the back of the still, just mentioning that he would soon be in "Undercover Man" and "If I Had a Million"! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
