An Original Vintage 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Still (Learn More) Irving G. Thalberg was a producer, writer and director from the 1920s to the 1930s. In 1920 at 21, he became an executive at Universal Studios, which was then the number one movie studio. He did well there, but he had a failed romance with owner Carl Laemmle's daughter, which likely caused him to leave the studio, and he signed with Louis B. Mayer. When Mayer joined with Metro to form MGM, Thalberg rose in the ranks at the new combined studio and helped turn MGM into the number one studio. He married actress Norma Shearer, and greatly helped her career at MGM. While he made most of the decisions at MGM, he took no screen credit, except on a single movie! Tragically, he died in 1936 of pneumonia, at just 37 AND Frank Capra is perhaps the greatest American director of all-time, directing movies from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Lady for a Day (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), It's a Wonderful Life, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It Happened One Night (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Arsenic and Old Lace, Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film), Lost Horizon, You Can't Take It with You, and Meet John Doe. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 94 AND Victor McLaglen was an English actor (of Irish descent) from the 1920s to the 1950s. He was a giant man who was a boxer who turned to acting. Some of his movies include: The Quiet Man (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), The Informer (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and countless John Ford movies, including many with John Wayne! Note that although McLaglen was the quintessential Irish actor in movies of the 1920s on, he was in fact NOT Irish, and was born in England! He passed away in 1959 at the age of 72. Important Added Info: Note that this great still shows Frank Capra, the President of the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences giving Irving Thalberg the Best Picture Oscar for Mutiny on the Bounty, as Victor McLaglen looks on (and helps hold the Oscar).
