An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Erich von Stroheim was a legendary Austrian actor/director/writer from the 1910s to the 1950s. He did not make any movies in Austria, but rather he worked at a variety of jobs in Austria, and became a member of the elite Austrian Dragoons military unit. He resigned his commission in 1914 and moved to the United States, where he became both an actor and worked behind the scenes. He became a leading actor (he was nicknamed "The Man You Love to Hate", because he mostly played German villains), and he became Hollywood's leading director with major triumphs such as Foolish Wives, The Wedding March, and Greed. But he almost bankrupted Paramount Studios with his never finished "Queen Kelly", and that ended his career as a director, but he made extremely memorable acting appearances in Grand Illusion and Sunset Blvd., as well as appearing in many less notable movies. AND Jean Hersholt was a much-liked Danish actor who made 142 movies, mostly between the middle 1910s and the early 1940s; he had a series of movies where he played the benevolent Dr. Paul Christian, but he is surely best remembered today for his many humanitarian deeds, including helping found the Motion Picture Relief Fund, and his name is attached to one of the most prestigious Academy Awards, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. Some of his movies include: Greed, Dinner at Eight, and Grand Hotel Condition: good to very good. There are some faint smudges and scuffs scattered in the still. There is a small tear in the lower right border. Learn More about condition grades
