An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Yvonne De Carlo (born Margaret Yvonne Middleton) was a Canadian actress from the 1940s to the 1990s. She was a romantic leading lady who starred in nearly one hundred movies in the 1940s and 1950s. You might be surprised to know that despite her great beauty (which was somewhat "exotic"), she was far from an overnight success! She had a number of uncredited roles starting in 1941, and made no impression on anybody! In 1943, she finally got a credited role in The Deerslayer (as a Native American Indian), and that still led to nothing. It was not for two more years before she was suddenly given the lead role in 1945's "Salome, Where She Danced", and that led to much better roles and then leading roles. Her exotic looks were not surprising, since her mother was of Italian-Scottish ancestry and her father was a half-Maori New Zealander! Oddly, she will forever be best remembered as Lily Munster in TV's "The Munsters"! Some of her other movies include: Salome Where She Danced, Song of Scheherazade, Slave Girl, The Ten Commandments (as Sephora), Brute Force, and This Gun for Hire. She passed away in 2007 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Yvonne De Carlo! Our consignor is a longtime dealer who acquired this signed item among many other purchases in his inventory, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Note that studios had to submit their photos for approval, and those photos were often unretouched, because there was no sense in touching them up if they were not approved. Often, they would touch up the negative to make the star's skin appear perfect and unblemished and unlined. This portrait of Yvonne De Carlo is unretouched (it is stamped "PROOF ONLY RETURN TO STILL DEPT" on the back). Also note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" [19 x 24 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good.
