An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Marsha Hunt was a a model, singer, and actress from the 1930s to 2022. She started out as a teenage John Powers fashion model, she began singing as well, and she went to Hollywood in 1935, when she was 18 years old, and was signed with Paramount, but never became a top star, playing secondary roles in major movies and starring in secondary movies. She made 54 films through 1949, but in the 1950s, she and her husband Robert Presnell Jr. were caught up in the Blacklist (for her strong support of freedom of speech, and not for any communist activity), and that pretty much ended her film career. She made occasional appearances, and was in a movie in 2008 at the age of 91! She passed away in 2022 at the age of 104. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Marsha Hunt! Note that our consignor purchased a collection of autographed stills that were collected by Leonard Sorgi, who was a unit manager for ABC for shows like The Soupy Sales Show, The Jerry Mahony Show, and many others. He was also Unit Manager for the Academy Awards for a number of years, and during his long and varied career, he met many celebrities and obtained autographs from them in person (often personalized to him). Our consignor (and we) feel certain that the autograph on this still is authentic! Also note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic.
