Auction History Result 3z415 RUTH CHATTERTON signed 8x9.5 still '30s great head & shoulders portrait of the pretty star! Date Sold 8/7/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 9 1/2" Movie Still (Learn More) Ruth Chatterton was a stage and screen actress from the 1920s to the 1950s. Because she was an established Broadway star before she turned to Hollywood, she was a leading star from her first movie! She is best remembered as Fran Dodsworth in the movie "Dodsworth". Some of her other movies include: Frisco Jenny, The Right To Love, Madame X (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Sarah & Son (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Lilly Turner. She was also a licensed pilot who flew her own plane across the country! Ruth passed away in 1961 at the age of 68. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Ruth Chatterton! Also note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 8" x 9 1/2". Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer in the 1970s and 1980s. During that time, he was approached by an elderly man named Sterling H. Bond, who had collected autographs for many years (starting in the early 1930s), and who sold the dealer his entire collection. Bond had tracked down many important Hollywood celebrities and obtained autographed items (often personalized to him), and he also had autographs from celebrities who were not in the film business (including famous politicians!). The dealer was so impressed with this collection that rather than sell it item by item, he began collecting autographs himself, sending celebrities items by Registered Mail which they then autographed and returned to him! He also purchased a few autographed items from top autograph dealers of the 1970s and 1980s. Now, decades later, the dealer consigned these autographed items to us, and we have sold many of them in our previous "all signed" auctions, and this set of auctions contains the last of them. All of these autographed items from this consignor were either obtained by long time collector Sterling H. Bond, or were obtained by this memorabilia dealer, and we feel certain that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: good to very good. The bottom border was neatly trimmed off, but otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
