Auction History Result 5a259 HEDY LAMARR signed deluxe 10x13 still '40s beautiful portrait by Clarence Sinclair Bull! Date Sold 11/15/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Hedy Lamarr, surely one of the most beautiful women ever, was born in 1914 (or was it 1913?). She was born Hedwig Kiesler in Vienna Austria, and she appeared in movies in Germany and Czechoslovakia as a teen. In 1933, she stunned the world when she appeared in the Czechoslovakian movie Ekstase (released internationally as Ecstasy) because she both appeared completely nude and in sex scenes! Naturally that caught the eye of Hollywood, and she was signed by MGM and renamed, although her next movie was not for five years later. She held on to her beauty quite well throughout the 1940s (nicknamed "The Most Beautiful Woman in Films"), and her biggest hit came at the end of that decade, playing Delilah to Victor Mature's Samson. She had a complicated private life! She is credited with major scientific inventions, and she had run-ins with the law for shoplifting. In 1974 Mel Brooks named one of the lead characters in Blazing Saddles "Hedley Lamarr", and she sued him over that! She is also best remembered for her roles in Show Business at War, The Love Goddesses, and H.M. Pulham, Esq. She passed away in 2000 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Hedy Lamarr! This signed photo (and others from this same collection we are offering in separate auctions) comes from the estate of Dorothy Credille, who was a Hollywood publicist in the 1930s to the 1950s. During the course of her work, she became personal friends and an acquaintance of all the top Hollywood stars, and she received many autographed 8x10s and 11x14s from them, many personalized to her. Also note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good. The still was once attached to a mat and there is paper residue on the back of the top and bottom borders, but it has no effect on the front, and the still is otherwise in pretty nice condition!
