Note that it is funny that the producers said that they were "introducing the following rock 'n' roll stars", because certainly some of them had previously appeared in movies! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had creases, scuffs, separation, and surface paper loss along all of the folds, with pinholes and tears around the edges. It had two long tears in the upper left, including one that went into the left of Mansfield's hat and the edge of her hair. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
