Date Sold 9/5/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Bette Davis was a legendary actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. She was Warner Bros. leading female star throughout the late 1930s, and she continued as a major star throughout the 1940s, and she had one of her greatest triumphs, All About Eve (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), in 1950. She refused to retire, and took out a famous ad in Variety seeking work (citing her two Oscars!), and she starred in What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in the 1960s. Some of her other movies include: Dangerous (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Jezebel (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Now, Voyager (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Of Human Bondage, Star (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Mr. Skeffington (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Little Foxes (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Letter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Dark Victory (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and too many others to list! She passed away in 1989 at the age of 81. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that most of the studios stopped making 22" x 28" personality posters in the mid-1930s. In the early 1940s, Warner Bros. issued a set, few of which survive. One of these was the portrait of Bette Davis, which is offered here. It is undated, but because it is printed on a "linen" paper (which Warner Bros. pretty much stopped using in 1942), and judging from the Warner Bros. logo and the image of Davis, I would say it dates close to 1942. Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. It was printed on a "linen" stock (typical of Warner Bros. half-sheets and inserts of this period). Many of these posters have become brittle or have yellowed considerably, but this poster is not at all brittle and has only slightly darkened. It DOES have some faint brown dot stains scattered around the edges and a very few creases and scuffs in the image, but overall, I would say it has survived much better than other similar Warner Bros. personality posters from this time.
