Auction History Result #201 FRANCES 30x40 '82 Jessica Lange Date Sold 4/2/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (measures 30" x 40") (Learn More) Frances, the 1982 Graeme Clifford ultra-depressing biography ("Her story is shocking, disturbing, compelling...and True." ...almost. See the note below; of cult 1930s actress Frances Farmer) starring Jessica Lange (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Frances Farmer), Jonathan Banks, Bonnie Bartlett, James Brodhead, Sam Shepard, Anjelica Huston, and Kim Stanley (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). Note that Frances Farmer is a legendary actress of the 1930s, partly for her great beauty and acting talent, and partly due to her great personal troubles, which resulted in her being institutionalized. A few years ago, I was informed by researcher Jeffrey Kauffman that the story of her being lobotomized is actually an urban legend! This myth was spread in a book and movie of Farmer's life, and it will be difficult to ever convince people that it is not true. In any event, Farmer was an extremely beautiful and talented actress, and original movie posters and lobby cards from her movies are highly sought after by collectors, but few are ever offered for sale! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: NOTE: This 30x40, plus many others that eMoviePoster is selling this week came from a most extraordinary collection. They were purchased by a collector when these films were issued and have been carefully stored under ideal conditions ever since! The result is that these posters are as near to perfect as any 30x40s we have ever sold (or just about any movie posters for that matter!)! If you purchase any of these, you will see that they truly look as though they might have just been printed (although each may have a few minute defects, which you would have to pore over the poster to find). Just finding these titles in a 30x40 size might take years, as they are far more rare than the corresponding one-sheet. To find them in this condition might take one the rest of their life! In the past few months we have sold other 30x40s (and 40x60s, one-sheets, inserts, and lobby card sets) for this collector, and they have sold for far more than they usually do in lesser condition, as collectors have correctly realized that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Please note that only the 30x40s from this collection will have this information on them. We are also selling 30x40s that did not come from this collection. Also note that these are the very last 30x40s from this wonderful collection (we wish there were more, but this is the end of them!). Condition: fine. Learn More about condition grades
