Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Dangerous, the 1935 Alfred Green alcoholic theater stage actress romantic love triangle melodrama ("The story of a girl that men regret!"; about an alcoholic washed up former star who meets a young architect, and he inspires her to pull herself together and she does so, but he becomes romantically involved with a beautiful younger woman, which causes her to self-destruct) starring Bette Davis (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Franchot Tone, Margaret Lindsay, Allison Skipworth, John Eldredge, and Dick Foran. Note that Bette Davis gave her usual wonderful performance in this movie (it seems likely her character was based on Jeanne Eagels), but few people consider it to be a classic. Bette Davis won the Academy Award for Best Actress for this movie, but it seems likely that this was just because she had been denied the award the previous year for perhaps her best performance ever, as Mildred in "Of Human Bondage"!

In the card offered here, Davis shows that she was won of the very few actresses willing to look "unglamorous", if it would allow her to better portray the character she was playing! In this scene, she has obviously awakened after a major binge with a hangover, and she is glaring at the woman with her famous "Bette Davis eyes"! Condition: very good. There are many (around 15) pairs of staple holes throughout the card. Fortunately, they were such small staples, and were so carefully removed, that they are almost unnoticeable except in the borders and when the card is turned over.
