Auction History Result 7s397 DEBORAH KERR signed 8x10.25 still 1967 head & shoulders portrait from Eye of the Devil! Date Sold 7/8/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1967 Vintage Theatrical Autographed 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Deborah Kerr (rhymes with 'star'!) was a Scottish actress from the 1940s to the 1980s. She had a quick rise to stardom in England in the early 1940s, and was in many movies there. She went to Hollywood in the early 1950s, and had some of her greatest successes during that decade, unusual at that time for an actress in her 30s (but she had aged REALLY well!). Some of her movies include: Edward My Son (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), An Affair to Remember, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, From Here To Eternity (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), The Innocents, Separate Tables (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Sundowners (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Heaven Knows Mr. Allison (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), King Solomon's Mines, and The King and I (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). She passed away in 2007 at the age of 86. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Deborah Kerr! Note that this autographed item is part of a remarkable collection. In our last all-signed auction, we auctioned nearly 500 items from this collection and now we are auctioning 162 more items! In the 1970s, our consignor was a teacher who taught a film class, and he also part-time ran the local movie theater (and he saved all the presskits from the movies the theater showed). Starting in the late 1970s through the late 1980s, he wrote to famous celebrities, and enclosed an 8x10 from his collection, and he wrote a literate personalized letter, talking about his work as a film teacher, and discussing his favorite movie by that star. He received signed photos back from a good percentage of the people he wrote to, and if the people simply sent him a stock photo back, he did not save it, but if he felt the autograph was genuine, and if they added a personalized note, then he did save them. In the late 1980s, he pretty much stopped sending letters and photos, simply because he was just too busy. So this photo (and the vast majority of the other photos we are auctioning for this consignor) were obtained in the 1980s, through personal correspondence with this star. This is of course excellent, because back at that time celebrities were not selling their signatures nearly as much, and many of the stars were pretty forgotten and were happy to get letters from people like our consignor! He of course does not have any "Certificates of Authenticity", but he only kept ones he felt were surely authentic, and those are the ones we are auctioning. However, bidders can certainly compare the signatures to known examples on the internet to judge for themselves. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good.
