An Original Vintage 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Still (Learn More) Myrtle Stedman was an actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. She was William Duncan's leading lady in at least 30 movies filmed in 1913 and a couple in early 1914 at the Selig Prescott movie studio (most also had Tom Mix in supporting or starring roles). Some of her movies include: Accidents Will Happen, That Certain Woman, and Lummox. She passed away in 1938 at the age of 52 AND Viola Dana (born Virginia Flugrath) was an actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. She is one of three acting sisters. Viola wisely changed her name from Virginia Flugrath, and her sister Shirley Mason also changed her name, but the third sister, Edna Flugrath, did not, which likely did not help her career. She was just 13 when she had her first movie role in a short subject adaptation of "A Christmas Carol", but by 1915, she was a leading star. She married director John Collins that year, but he died in the flu epidemic of 1918. She then had a romantic relationship with famed daredevil pilot Ormer Locklear (who was married), and he died performing a plane stunt in 1920, and Miss Dana was a witness to it. She married two more times and was a star through the 1920s, making a few appearances in 1930s movies. She then retired, except for a brief appearance in the documentary "Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow", made the year after her passing in 1987, at the age of 90 AND Gladys Brockwell was an actress from the 1910s to the 1920s. She was born in 1894 and started acting for D.W. Griffith in 1913. She became a leading actress at William Fox, and she was one of their top actresses throughout the 1920s. When sound came in, she made the transition well, appearing in a number of early sound movies. However, tragedy struck in 1929, when she was a passenger in a car driven by her boyfriend, and the car went over a cliff, and she sustained massive injuries, and died six days later, and she was only 34. Her boyfriend survived. Condition: good to very good. There is tiny paper loss and a tiny bit of surface paper loss in the borders. There is some unevenness to the emulsion around the edges, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
