An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Dorothy Lamour was born in Louisiana in 1914. She was Miss New Orleans at 16, and she became the vocalist in the Herbie Kaye band, and married the bandleader. She was spotted by Paramount Pictures, and after a few uncredited appearances, she starred in The Jungle Princess, where she wore a floral print wrap-around sarong, and she was a sensation. She made five more "sarong pictures" and she also starred in the "Road" movies opposite Bob Hope and Bing Crosby (sadly in the last of these she was dubbed too old, and she was cast aside for a younger sexy Joan Collins). She also made made other movies, but she will always be remembered as the sexy sarong girl! She passed away in 1996 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: 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 Dorothy Lamour is unretouched (it is marked "RETOUCH AS INDICATED"). Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock.

Condition: good to very good. There is staining in the upper right border, slightly extending into the background. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
