Auction History Result 6a211 CORINNE CALVET 8.25x10 key book still '50 sexy head & shoulders semi-profile portrait! Date Sold 3/22/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Corinne Calvet was an French actress form the 1940s to the 1980s. What an unusual life French actress Corinne Calvet had! She was born in 1925 and first studied criminal law at the Sorbonne, and then became an interior decorator! She then went to the L'Ecole du Cinema in Paris and had some roles on the stage. She was then "discovered" by famous producer Hal B. Wallis, who brought her to America, and made her one of his many proteges, signing her to a contract with Paramount in 1947. Her first Hollywood movie was Rope of Sand in 1949. In the movies that followed, she appeared opposite some top stars (including James Stewart in The Far Country), but her roles did not have substance and she sued both Wallis and the studio, wanting better roles than she was offered. She had several other lawsuits and bitter divorces. In 1983, she wrote a memoir, Has Corinne Been a Good Girl?, and she retired from acting and became a therapist, specializing in hypnosis. She lived in Santa Monica, California, where she died in June 2001 at the age of 76. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The extra top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Learn More about condition grades
