An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Eleanor Powell was an actress and legendary tap dancer from the 1930s to the 1950s, primarily in MGM musicals. She was married to Glenn Ford from 1943 to 1969, and they had one child, Peter Ford. Some of her movies include: Broadway Melody of 1936, Thousands Cheer, and Honolulu. She passed away in 1982 at the age of 69. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"! Condition: good. The still was used in Motion Picture magazine and they "scored" a rectangle around Powell's figure (it is a light cut in a surface of the front of the still, but does not extend through to the back). There is a small tear in the left of the top border and creases in the bottom border. Learn More about condition grades
