Auction History Result 9r062 ANYBODY'S WOMAN 8x10 still '30 full-length smoking portrait of Virginia Hammond! Date Sold 4/12/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Anybody's Woman, the 1930 Dorothy Arzner romantic love triangle comedy (about a lawyer whose wife leaves him, and in a reckless drunken moment, he marries a chorus girl, and rather than divorce her, he tries to make the marriage work by turning her into a respectable society woman) starring Ruth Chatterton, Clive Brook, Paul Lukas, Huntley Gordon, and Virginia Hammond. Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.
