Auction History Result 8j580 LILLIAN ROTH 8x10 key book still '20s in wonderful fringed dress on giant piano! Date Sold 2/21/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Deluxe 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Lillian Roth (born Lillian Rutstein) was an actress from the 1920s to the 1970s. She started in vaudeville with her sister Ann as "The Roth Sisters", but when Lillian started making movies, the sisters went their separate ways. Lillian was a sexy actress whose turbulent off camera life gained her far more notoriety than her movie work. She had stage fright and other nervous disorders, and she self medicated with alcohol and drugs, and she soon became an alcoholic and was married six times, and was never single for long. Her life was the basis for the movie "I'll Cry Tomorrow" starring Susan Hayward, which brought alcoholism into the consciousness of mainstream America. Some of her movies include: The Love Parade, Animal Crackers, Boardwalk, Madam Satan, and Communion. She passed away in 1980 at the age of 69, ironically living longer than Susan Hayward, who passed away in 1975 at the age of 57. Important Added Info: Note that the still is glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely this was a key book still, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
