Auction History Result 3j0332 BILLIE HOLIDAY 8x10.25 still 1940s the happy singer early in her career, extremely rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 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) Billie Holiday was a prominent black African American figure in jazz music from the 1930s to the 1950s. She had small appearances in two movies (New Orleans and Symphony in Black), and she also appeared in a jazz musical short called "'Sugar Chile' Robinson, Billie Holiday, Count Basie and His Sextet". Diana Ross' movie, "Lady Sings the Blues", is about Billie Holiday's life, but her name is not used. Some of her works include: Riffin' the Scotch, The Way You Look Tonight, and Carelessly. She passed away in 1959 at the age of 44. She suffered from cirrhosis, and in an incredibly sad course of events, she was arrested and handcuffed for drug possession as she lay on her deathbed. Important Added Info: Note that we don't know who the man is with Billie Holiday, and we don't know the occasion that prompted this candid image. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. There are many small areas of unevenness scattered across the center of the still, but they are truly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light, and you cannot see them when you look at the still straight on, but please bear this in mind before placing a bid on this still. The still also has two black crop marks in each border and a few faint creases scattered around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
