Auction History Result 9s116 BEBE DANIELS deluxe 7.5x9.75 still 1920s seated portrait in black lace by Edward Thayer Monroe Date Sold 9/17/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Bebe Daniels was an actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. She had a long and fascinating career! She was born in 1901, and by 4, she was a stage actress, and had a leading stage role at the age of 7, and started in movies soon after. When she was 14, Hal Roach picked her to be Harold Lloyd's leading lady in the "Lonesome Luke" shorts! Cecil B. DeMille signed her away to Paramount, and she was one of the few major silent stars who had no trouble transitioning to sound (she was also an excellent singer), and she became a bigger star in musicals like "Rio Rita" and "42nd Street". In 1930, she married Ben Lyon, and after her marriage, she made few movies. Some of her other movies include: Counselor at Law, Why Change Your Wife?, and Bumping Into Broadway. She passed away in 1971 at the age of 70. Important Added Info: Note that this still (and a number of others we are currently auctioning) has a most unusual provenance. Our consignor's father worked at Paramount Studios between 1925 and 1927, and he was given a number of deluxe stills (and a few regular ones) from then-current films, and he kept them all the years since, and now they have been consigned to us! We put three great portraits from this collection (portraits of Louise Brooks, W.C. Fields, and Clara Bow) in our September Major Auction, and now we have many of the other individual stills in this auction of single stills. This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire these extremely rare stills (and other than some of them measuring under 8x10, which likely occurred prior to them being distributed, they are in quite nice condition, especially considering their age). Note that this still measures 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
