Auction History Result 9s209 CLIFTON WEBB 8x10.25 still 1935 right after he was lured to Hollywood from Broadway! Date Sold 9/17/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Clifton Webb was born in 1889, and he was primarily a stage actor, appearing in a small number of movies, starting in silents. In 1944, at the age of 55 he achieved stardom with his role as Waldo Lydecker in Laura (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). He parlayed that fame into starring roles in movies, most notably in the series of Mr. Belvedere movies, where he was a male nanny. He was gay, but that remained a "secret" throughout his life, and he lived with, and was devoted to, his beloved mother throughout most of his adult life, and they were inseparable. When she died in 1960, he went into a major decline, both mentally and physically, and he made only one more movie before passing away in 1966 at the age of 76. Some of his movies include: Sitting Pretty (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Razor's Edge (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and Titanic Important Added Info: Note that this still has great information at the back which tells that Mr. Webb is "the latest stage star to say goodbye to Hollywood" and that he will "co-star with Joan Crawford in his first film production 'Elegance'", and that he "will demonstrate to movie millions both the nimbleness of his feet and the dramatic depths of his acting talents". I guess they envisioned him as a suave leading man, but I imagine they soon realized that he made a far better character actor! Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm].
