An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Conrad Nagel was an actor from the 1910s to the 1940s. While never a major star, he had leading roles opposite some of the top silent female stars, including Gloria Swanson,Bebe Daniels, and Pola Negri. Unlike many of his fellow actors, he had no trouble making the transition to sound movies. In fact, in the early sound days, he was hired by studios to help actors who were having trouble adjusting! He kept acting through 1940, and then he had a limited number of appearances in the 1940s and 1950s. He was one of the founding members of the Motion Picture Academy, and he has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and he was awarded a special Oscar in 1947! Some of his movies include: Fast Life, London After Midnight, and Quality Street. He passed away in 1970 at the age of 72. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. Also note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
