An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7" x 10 1/2" [18 x 27 cm] Stage Play Still (Learn More) Ruby Keeler was an actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. She was born Ethel Ruby Keeler in Canada in 1909, but her family moved to New York City when she was three. She took dance lessons at an early age, and when she was 14 she got a job in a Broadway show (lying about her age!), In 1927 she co-starred in The Sidewalks of New York where she was seen by Flo Ziegfeld, who hired her. The following year, while still a teenager, she married the 23 year older Al Jolson, and their marriage was partially the basis for the several versions of "A Star is Born" and "The Jolson Story" (but Keeler refused to allow the producers to use her name). In 1933 she co-starred in Busby Berkeley's 42nd Street, followed quickly by Gold Diggers of 1933, Footlight Parade and Dames and in 1935 she co-starred with her husband in Go Into Your Dance. They divorced in 1940, and she married a businessman and retired, having four children. In 1971 she returned to star in the Broadway revival of the 1920s musical No, No, Nanette. She passed away in 1993 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this stage play still is from when Ruby Keeler co-starred in the 1927 Broadway play, The Sidewalks of New York. Stage play stills are FAR more rare than movie stills from the same time period. Also, note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7" x 10 1/2" [18 x 27 cm]. Finally, note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. The still may have originally measured only slightly larger than the size it is now, or it may well have measured 10 1/2" x 13 1/2" (a standard size for the time), but somebody many years ago trimmed it to just around Keeler's figure. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this really cool sexy image of Ruby Keeler at the start of her career! Learn More about condition grades
