Auction History Result 1e273 SUSAN HAYWARD signed 8x10 still '56 c/u before appearing in Top Secret Affair by Bert Six! Date Sold 3/31/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Susan Hayward (born Edythe Marrenner) was an actress from the 1930s to the 1970s. She started in the late 1930s, and became a star in the 1940s, and at an age when many other actress' careers started to fade, she continued strong, and had some of her best roles in the 1940s. Some of her movies include: With A Song In My Heart (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), I'll Cry Tomorrow (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), I Want To Live (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Valley of the Dolls, The Conqueror, My Foolish Heart (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Smash-Up (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Beau Geste. Sadly, she passed away in 1975 from brain cancer, and she was only 57. She was one of the actors exposed to radiation while filming 'The Conqueror', which may have contributed to her illness. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Susan Hayward! Note that this autographed 8x10 is one of 91 that were consigned to us by a former theater owner. He owned two different major theaters in Louisiana from the 1940s through the 1970s, and he sometimes had premieres of movies at his theaters, at which time some of the celebrities connected to the movies would appear in person (this was often done in the 1950s and 1960s). When celebrities came to his theater, he would have them autograph 8x10 stills for him in person, and that got him started collecting signed stills, so at some point in the 1950s, he began requesting the studios to have them send him stills signed by the stars of movies he had recently shown at his theater when he was holding a special event or having the anniversary of his theater's opening! Over the next decade, he collected 91 signed stills that were sent to him by the studios through the mail, as well as several dozen that he obtained in person. We auctioned those "in person" signed stills in our previous auctions, and now we are auctioning the 91 stills where he obtained the signatures through the mail from the studios. We know for certain that he received these stills directly from the studios, but we can't say for certain if the stills were signed by the stars or if they were signed by secretaries. But since he owned a major theater, and since many of the stills were personalized to him (or to his theater), we would think it likely that most, if not all, of these 91 stills have genuine signatures that are NOT secretarial signatures. But we suggest that anyone bidding on these stills compare their signatures to other examples of that star's signature, so they can best determine if the signature is from that star.
