An Undated (probably 1980s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Carroll Baker (born Karolina Piekarski) is an actress from the 1950s to the 2000s. She had a tiny part in 1953's "Easy to Love", but that did not lead to anything, and she joined the Actors Studio in New York and got a few Broadway parts before getting her big break in 1956 in "Giant"! Some of her movies include: The Big Country, Giant, Baby Doll (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), How the West Was Won, and Harlow (where she played Jean Harlow!). After the Harlow movie in 1965, when she was 34, and good roles were getting scarce, she moved to Europe where she made some Italian and German movies. In 1982, at the age 51, she married actor Donald Burton, and they remained married until he passed away in 2007. As of 2021, she is still alive at the age of 90! Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Carroll Baker! Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was used in French speaking parts of Canada, but it was printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us! So it is an original still from , but it was printed for use in parts of Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
