Auction History Result 1j1493 LILLIAN GISH deluxe local theater 8x10 still 1920s portrait of the pretty leading lady, rare! Date Sold 1/18/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Lillian Gish was born in 1893. She was one of the most legendary actresses of early cinema, with lead roles in Birth of a Nation and Intolerance. When sound came in she oddly switched almost entirely to the stage (as Paul Muni would do a few years later), just when most stage actors were moving TO Hollywood. She did have some choice film roles in later years, but none more memorable than as the righteous Miss Cooper in Charles Laughton's Night of the Hunter (who can forget her singing "Bringing in the Sheaves" with crazy preacher Robert Mitchum?), and in 1987, at the age of 92, she appeared alongside Bette Davis in The Whales of August! Some of her other movies include: The Wind, Ben-Hur, and Duel In the Sun (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She passed away in 1993 at the age of 99. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of six similar special local theater stills, each of which are printed on a deluxe paper, with a gold coated stock on the front, and on the back it had ads for a specific theater, and also a tire company. We imagine these were passed out at both the theater and at the tire company. Other than these six, we have never auctioned any of these before! Condition: very good.
