An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Oversized Movie Still (measures 15 1/4" x 20" [39 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Bette Davis was a legendary actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. She was Warner Bros. leading female star throughout the late 1930s, and she continued as a major star throughout the 1940s, and she had one of her greatest triumphs, All About Eve (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), in 1950. She refused to retire, and took out a famous ad in Variety seeking work (citing her two Oscars!), and she starred in What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in the 1960s. Some of her other movies include: Dangerous (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Jezebel (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Now, Voyager (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Of Human Bondage, Star (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Mr. Skeffington (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Little Foxes (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Letter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Dark Victory (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and too many others to list! She passed away in 1989 at the age of 81. Artist: Eugene Robert Richee Important Added Info: Note that this 15 1/4" x 20" [39 x 51 cm] still has been personally autographed (signed) by the photographer, Eugene Robert Richee! Our consignor knows that this oversized still (which is mounted on a heavy board) was displayed at the Warner Bros. studio in the 1940s (perhaps in the commissary). They were surely mounted to the heavy boards when they were created, so they could be better displayed. It was found together with other similar oversized stills of other Warner Bros. stars from the 1940s. Each was taken by famed photographer Eugene Robert Richee, and he hand signed a corner of each. Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: good to very good. The still is mounted on a heavy board (see above). It must have been displayed in a frame, because there are indications of that around the edges of the back where it has darkened. There is also some tiny bits of the board missing on the back of two borders. There are tiny areas of surface paper loss in the bottom center of the image. They are definitely noticeable, but could certainly be touched up by a restorer. Please bear in mind this defect before bidding on this still. Learn More about condition grades
