George Sidney's Jeanne Eagels, the 1957 George Sidney romantic biography stage play acting melodrama tragedy ("Story by Daniel Fuchs"; very loosely based on the real life actress; about a woman who gives up her entire life to become a movie star, and finds that she would have much rather become a mother, but by then it is too late, and she dies quite young) starring Kim Novak (in the title role as Jeanne Eagels), Jeff Chandler, Agnes Moorehead, Charles Drake, Larry Gates, Virginia Grey, and Gene Lockhart. Of course, Jeanne Eagels was an actress from the 1910s until her passing in 1929. Her father died in 1910, leaving his widow with six children, and Jeanne quit school and went to work in a department store. She soon became a dancer and actress in a traveling company in the Midwest. She moved to New York City and became a Ziegfeld Girl, dying her hair blonde. She appeared in some plays, and then some movies in the middle 1910s. In 1922, she starred in the stage play version of Rain, and then toured with it for several years. She appeared several more movies and plays in the late 1920s. During this period, she had problems with drinking, and was disruptive on film sets, sometimes not showing up. In 1928, after she failed to appear for a play performance, she was banned from Actors Equity from appearing on the stage for 18 months, she went to Hollywood and made The Letter (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role) and Jealousy. Soon after she was preparing to return to Broadway, when she passed away at the age of 39, from an overdose (a combination of alcohol, heroin, and chloral hydrate).

Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 11 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills.

NOTE: On rare occasions, large lots of 9 or more black-and-white stills like this one can sometimes have one or more duplicated stills, but since we only picture 8 of the stills, if there are duplicates, they are likely not pictured. We try to note when this happens, but we may not catch it every time, so please do not bid on such lots unless you can accept this possibility.
