Auction History Result 7h641 MILTON BERLE deluxe 8x9.25 still 1930 when he was 22, about to enter vaudeville, with family! Date Sold 6/24/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 9 1/4" [20 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Milton Berle was a comedian and occasional actor from the 1910s to 2000s. He had a few minor roles as a child actor, and then acted in vaudeville starting in 1931, and he resurfaced in movies in the late 1930s, usually playing criminals' flunkies. He went on to great success in early television, sometimes appearing in drag, and he earned the nicknames "Uncle Miltie" and "Mr. Television". In 1951, NBC hired him to an amazing 30-year $1,000,000 per year contract! But by 1956, he was in a decline, and NBC decided to cancel his show, and they made the unusual decision to keep paying him his million dollars a year, rather than have him be on the air on an opposing network! Berle was also a legendary "joke thief", stealing jokes from every other successful comedian! He passed away in 2002 at the age of 93. Important Added Info: Note that this still comes from a very major Milton Berle collector who had this still as noted as being from "circa 1930", which would be when Mr. Berle was 22, and before he really got going in vaudeville. Apparently he is at some family function! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 8" x 9 1/4" [20 x 23 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. The still was trimmed to 8" x 9 1/4" and there are some tiny dot stains scattered in the image. Learn More about condition grades
