Auction History Result 7j217 GINGER ROGERS signed 8x10 REPRO still '89 close up seated portrait with hand behind head! Date Sold 11/28/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed 8" x 10" (8x10) REPRODUCTION Still (Learn More) Ginger Rogers (born Virginia Katherine McMath) was a highly successful actress from the 1930s and 1970s, who would have had a great career even if she hadn't appeared in ten movies where she was paired with Fred Astaire, although that is what she is best remembered for today! Some of her movies include: Top Hat, Gold Diggers of 1933, Swing Time, Stage Door, 42nd Street, The Gay Divorcee, The Major and the Minor, Shall We Dance, Kitty Foyle (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Kitty Foyle), and Follow the Fleet! She also had a successful Broadway career. Ginger passed away in 1995 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this REPRODUCTION still has been personally autographed (signed) by Ginger Rogers! Also note that many stars kept multiple 8" x 10" 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 stills, they are usually excellent clear copies, with a great shot of the star in their heyday, which, when signed by the star, makes for a wonderful framed picture on any fan's wall! About the Collection this Item Comes From Note that this item (and 40 others we are auctioning this week, each in its own auction) 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 has consigned these autographed items to us. So all of these 41 autographed items we are auctioning 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! Note that each of the 41 items from this consignor all have this paragraph on them. UPDATED 11/22/2010: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that this repro still of Ginger Rogers is from the film "Top Hat"! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
