Auction History Result 4f231 QUEEN OF OUTER SPACE linen 1sh '58 artwork of sexy full-length Zsa Zsa Gabor on Venus! Date Sold 12/1/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Queen of Outer Space, the 1958 Edward Bernds science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy space adventure thriller ("26 Million Miles Through The Unknown Universe -- To The Indescribable Terrors and Beauties of Planet Venus!"; "Mankind's First Fantastic Flight to Venus -- the Female Planet!"; "From a story by Ben Hecht"; "Screenplay by Charles Beaumont") starring Zsa Zsa Gabor (often mistaken for playing the title role!), Eric Fleming, Dave Willock, Laurie Mitchell (in the title role as Queen Yllana), Lisa Davis, and Paul Birch. Note that Ben Hecht, who is given credit for the story, and Charles Beaumont, credited with the screenplay, were two of the most talented writers ever to work in Hollywood. So how did they end up working on this low budget cheesy grade Z movie? Legend has it that Hecht told the story at a party, and someone who overheard it started making a movie of it, and Hecht heard about it and demanded screen credit! As to Charles Beaumont, it surely was the low point of his otherwise illustrious career! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The reds in the poster have slightly faded. There were many pinholes around the edges. The bottom 2" was folded back at one time and the top corners each had a diagonal crease. There were some tiny pinholes around each crossfold and some fine surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed with no excess linen, but at some point it was displayed, which caused the fading in the reds of the poster. It still displays pretty well just as it is (many people might not realize that there was fading without comparing the poster to another unfaded example), but please bear this fading in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
