Auction History Result 3s0597 LOT OF 3 GRETA GARBO 7X10 STILLS 1930s great scenes, all from different movies! Date Sold 3/8/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 3 7" x 9 1/2" stills from Greta Garbo movies. The stills in this lot have a MOST unusual origin. They were found in a Texas movie theater in 1972, when the theater was being torn down. There were stills glued to boards that were displayed on one of the walls of the theater. Our consignor "rescued" these stills (and others, which we are auctioning in other bulk lots) by cutting them from the board. The stills have been trimmed (see our images). Obviously, the new owner of these could have them removed from the heavy boards they are glued to, or one could display them as they are. Either way, bear in mind this unusual defect BEFORE bidding on this lot of stills. Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. Note that the items in this lot are from the 1930s. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Measurements: each measures approximately 7" x 9 1/2"Condition: fair to good. Many years ago, the stills were trimmed and each glued to a heavy board (see above). No one has performed any restoration, but it could be done, or they could be displayed as they are. However, bear in mind these defects before bidding.
