We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Note that these stills were consigned to us from the family of Ken Jones, who was an author of books about movies (including books about character actors and western stars). In the course of researching his books, he bought lots and lots of stills, and he kept them arranged by the actors who appeared in them (often B-actors, because he would write about them and use the stills to illustrate what he wrote). The stills offered here come from Ken Jones' collection and are originals he bought many decades ago! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
