A 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Radio Publicity Still (Learn More) D.W. Griffith was one of the most famous directors of all time from the 1900s to the 1950s. Some of his movies include: Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages, Way Down East, Orphans of the Storm, Broken Blossoms or The Yellow Man and the Girl, Judith of Bethulia, and The Birth of a Nation (the movie he is best remembered for, but which is extremely controversial today, because of its depiction of post-Civil-War-era black African Americans). He passed away in 1948 at the age of 73. AND Cecil B. DeMille was a legendary director from the 1910s to the 1950s. What makes him so remarkable is that he made some of the very first great movies, including "The Squaw Man" in 1914, but he was one of the only great silent directors to have no trouble transitioning to sound, and he made great movies in the sound era, even into the 1950s! Some of his movies include: The Ten Commandments, The Greatest Show on Earth, and Samson and Delilah. Of course, he also had a memorable acting role in Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" in 1950 (he did a great job, but it was made easier because he was playing himself!). He passed away in 1959 at the age of 77. AND Jeanette MacDonald was an actress/singer from the 1920s to the 1940s. She was born in 1903, and she works in choruses on Broadway in the 1920s. In 1929, Ernst Lubitsch picked her to play opposite Maurice Chevalier in "The Love Parade" for Paramount, and she also made the classic "Love Me Tonight", opposite Maurice Chevalier and directed by Rouben Mamoulian. In 1931, she left Paramount and signed with MGM, and in 1935, she starred in "Naughty Marietta" with Nelson Eddy, who whom she appeared in several other opera-like musicals of the 1930s. She had a big hit with "San Francisco", opposite Clark Gable, in 1936. In 1938, she quit the movies to perform in shows and on stage. From 1937 to her passing, she was married to actor Gene Raymond. She returned in the late 1940s to make two more movies, but she suffered from a bad heart, and passed away in 1965 at the age of 61. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
