Auction History Result 1a337 JANE RUSSELL signed 8x10.25 publicity still '80s great smiling portrait, Founder of WAIF! Date Sold 8/14/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Publicity Still (Learn More) Jane Russell was an actress from the 1940s to the 1970s. She was discovered by Howard Hughes in 1941, and starred in The Outlaw, which was completed in 1941, but the movie was held up for five long years by censorship troubles. It is very sad that she lost those five years (which likely would have been very productive for her), and by the 1960s, roles for her were drying up, and she only made four movies in the 1960s, and two in 1970, at which point she stopped making any movies (although she did ads for Playtex bras in the 1970s!). Some of her other movies include: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, His Kind of Woman, The Paleface, Son of Paleface, and The Revolt of Mamie Stover. She passed away in 2011 at the age of 89. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Jane Russell! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Finally, note that many celebrities kept multiple 8" x 10" (or smaller) copies of good publicity images of themselves to sign for fans, and also many memorabilia shops sold such copy stills themselves. While they are not original theater-used stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of that celebrity in their heyday, which, when signed by the celebrity, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! 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 Mahoney 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! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
