An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Elsa Lanchester was born in London in 1902. She was an excellent stage and screen actress, but almost all of those accomplishments have faded into obscurity, and today she is mostly remembered for two things. First, that she played both the title role (and the part of Mary Shelley) in Universal's The Bride of Frankenstein in 1935. Her performance was memorable, especially her reaction when she first sees the Frankenstein monster! Second, for being the wife (for 33 years) of master actor Charles Laughton. She said she did not discover he was bisexual until two years into their marriage! They appeared in 10 films together, most notably Witness for the Prosecution and The Private Life of Henry VIII (with Laughton in the title role as Henry VIII, and Lanchester as Anne of Cleves). Some of her other movies include: Come To The Stable (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Mary Poppins, Murder By Death, and Blackbeard's Ghost. She passed away in 1986 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Elsa Lanchester! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
