Auction History Result 1e272 STEWART GRANGER signed deluxe 8x10 still '56 head & shoulders portrait of the English star! Date Sold 3/31/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Stewart Granger was an English actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. Some of his movies include: Scaramouche, North to Alaska and The Last Hunt. He was born "James Stewart", but that name had already been taken (just a few years before, by the famous American actor), so he had to use a different name, and he chose "Stewart Granger"! He passed away in 1993 at the age of 80. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Stewart Granger! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. 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. Condition: very good to fine. The still is slightly rippled in the top and bottom edges, but is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
