An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Rise Stevens was an opera singer who appeared in a few movies from the 1940s to the 1960s. Note that her name is written with an umlaut over the "e" in her first name; her father was Norwegian, and her name is properly pronounced "REE-za", but most people have long forgotten that and pronounce is as "rise" as in "sunrise"! Her best remembered movie role was in "Going My Way", where she played a former girlfriend of priest Bing Crosby, and she has a significant role, and she even sings a selection from Carmen at the Met. She was especially celebrated for her starring performances in the opera "Carmen", beginning in 1951. She performed it at the Metropolitan Opera, as well as opera houses around the world, and released a best selling record of that opera! Rise passed away in 2013 at the age of 99. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Rise Stevens! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
