Auction History Result 5b1882 RED HAIR 8x10 key book still 1928 head & shoulders portrait of sexy Clara Bow in satin robe! Date Sold 9/26/2023 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) Red Hair, the 1928 Clarence G. Badger silent romantic comedy (based on the novel "by Elinor Glyn"; about a manicurist who wants to find a rich husband, and when her boyfriends find out she is just a gold digger, they tell her off at a fancy party, and she responds by throwing down the jewels and fancy gown she was given, and jumping in a swimming pool!) starring Clara Bow (as Bubbles McCoy, "a cute little cuticle cutter"), Lane Chandler, William Austin, Jacqueline Gadsden, and Lawrence Grant. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that only fragments of the film are thought to exist (including the only surviving footage of Clara Bow in Technicolor). Note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

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 unevenly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
