Auction History Result 5s0294 CLAIRE WINDSOR deluxe 11x14 still 1926 profile portrait for Money Talks by Melbourne Spurr! Date Sold 9/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Claire Windsor (born Clara Viola Cronk) was an actress from the 1910s to the 1940s. She was born in Kansas in 1892, and as a teen, studied voice and piano in Seattle. She went to Hollywood at the start of the 1920s, and she changed her birth date to 1895, so she would be younger! It worked, because she got the lead in Lois Weber's "What Do Men Want?" in 1921, and she was one of the WAMPAS Baby Stars of 1922. In 1921, she changed her name from Clara Cronk to Claire Windsor, because screenwriter Frances Marion correctly told her that "Clara Cronk" was no name for a movie star! In the early 1930s, with her movie career waning, she performed with Al Jolson in his stage shows, and pretty much retired soon after. Some of her movies include: Kiss of Araby, Money Talks, and The White Desert. She passed away in 1972 at the age of 80. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"! Condition: good to very good. There is small paper loss in the top left corner. Learn More about condition grades
