Auction History Result 6t073 FRANCES FARMER 8x10 still '40 beautiful pensive seated portrait by Hurrell in Flowing Gold! Date Sold 3/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Frances Farmer was a legendary actress of the 1930s, partly for her great beauty and acting talent, and partly due to her great personal troubles, which resulted in her being institutionalized. A few years ago, I was informed by researcher Jeffrey Kauffman that the story of her being lobotomized is actually an urban legend! This myth was spread in a book and movie of Farmer's life, and it will be difficult to ever convince people that it is not true. In any event, Farmer was an extremely beautiful and talented actress, and original movie posters and lobby cards from her movies are highly sought after by collectors, but few are ever offered for sale! Some of her movies include: Come and Get It, Son of Fury: The Story of Benjamin Blake, The Toast of New York, Flowing Gold, and Rhythm on the Range. She passed away in 1970 at the age of 56. Important Added Info: 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
