An Original Vintage Movie Costume Drawing (measures 15" x 20" [38 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Marilyn Miller (born Mary Ellen Reynolds) was a stage actress and singer in the 1910s and 1930s. In the late 1910s, she appeared in The Ziegfeld Follies, and she became a top Ziegfeld star, and she also had a personal relationship with Ziegfeld, which caused them to part ways in 1922, when she signed with one of his competitors. She had several major hits, and she was called "Queen of Broadway" in the 1920s. She only appeared in three movies: Her Majesty, Love, Sunny, and Sally. Her signature song was "Look For the Silver Lining". She had a very volatile private life, with three husbands (one of whom was Jack Pickford, brother of Mary, who became a major drug addict). She became an alcoholic, and she passed away in 1936 at the age of 37, following complications from nasal surgery. In 1949, a Hollywood biography of her life was made, called "Look For the Silver Lining", and she was played by June Haver. Artist: Edward Stevenson Important Added Info: Note that this costume drawing (which is a one of a kind original drawn by the costume designer for this movie) has been personally autographed (signed) by the artist, Edward Stevenson! The movie is not identified, but Miss Miller only appeared in three movies, so it was surely was done for one of those three movies. The art has a 1930 stamp on the back, so it would seem more likely it is for "Sunny", which came out that year. If anyone knows which movie it was for, please e-mail us and we will post it here.Note that in February of 2023, we auctioned four similar costume drawings, from the same consignor, but all different movies.
