Auction History Result 3r0386 MARY PARKER 8x11 still 1938 Punkins gets a present from Kris Kringle, St. Louis Blues! Date Sold 3/5/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Mary Parker (born Mary Frances Roberson, but widely known as "Punkins" Parker) was discovered by Hollywood during a Paramount "search for beauty" contest. She had previously been a dancer and a singer on radio. She never achieved much success as an actress, but her looks and personality (and her distinctive nickname "Punkins", which she hated!) made her pretty much of a household name in the 1930s! She had her greatest success dancing with her partner Billy Daniel, and at one time, she dated Howard Hughes (along with a million other beautiful young women). She returned to her native Texas and had a weekly radio program, and then she became the manager of a doctor's office. She passed away in 1998 at the age of 79. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Condition: good to very good. The image has lightened, but the still is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
