An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Martha O'Driscoll was an actress from the 1930s to the 1940s. In 1935, when she was 13, she was dancing in Phoenix, and she was discovered by Hermes Pan, who helped her get a job at Paramount in the chorus of a musical (supposedly he told them she was 18). She had some unbilled roles in the next few years, but in 1940, she started getting leading roles, even though she was only 18. Some of her movies include: Li'l Abner, House of Dracula, and Carnegie Hall. She might have had a far more significant career, except (after a brief ten month marriage to a serviceman in 1943), she married a very wealthy man in 1947, and she completely retired (at the age of 25!). This proved to be a long and successful marriage! They had 4 children, and they remained married until she passed away in 1998 at the age of 76, and her husband, Arthur Appleton, passed away in 2008 at the age of 92. 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.
