Auction History Result 7j221 JOAN BENNETT signed 8x10 REPRO still '80s waist-high portrait in sexy sheer nightgown! Date Sold 11/28/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" (8x10) REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Joan Bennett was an actress from the 1920s to the 1980s. Note that in her roles in the 1930s, she had short blonde hair, and in the early 1940s, she massively changed her appearance, with long dark hair (greatly resembling Hedy Lamarr!). She came from a famous acting family (her parents were Richard Bennett and Adrienne Morrison) and her sister Constance Bennett was also a successful actress, and they had a third sister, Barbara, who appeared in a few movies but then retired to become a wife and mother. Some of her movies include: Scarlet Street, The Woman in the Window, Little Women, Father of the Bride, and We're No Angels. She passed away in 1990 at the age of 80. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by Joan Bennett! Also note that many stars kept multiple 8" x 10" copies of good publicity images of themselves to sign for fans, and also many memorabilia shops sold such copy stills themselves. While they are not original stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of the star in their heyday, which, when signed by the star, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! In the case of this particular reproduction still, it was likely created in the 1970s or 1980s, and at the time that our consignor acquired the signature on it. About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 40 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer has consigned these autographed items to us. So all of these 41 autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Note that each of the 41 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. Condition: fine. The REPRODUCTION is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
