Auction History Result 3r0333 JUDY GARLAND deluxe 8x10 still 1950s enigmatic head & shoulders portrait by John Engstead! Date Sold 3/5/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm) was a legendary actress and singer from the 1930s to the 1960s. She was born in 1922, and as a young child performed with her older sisters as "The Gumm Sisters". In 1935, she was signed to a contract by MGM, who changed her name to Judy Garland. She appeared in some shorts, but in 1937, at Clark Gable's birthday party, she sang "You Made Me Love You", which was filmed, and got her noticed, and her role as Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" gave her great fame. She appeared in "Ziegfeld Girl" in 1941, and "For Me and My Gal" in 1942, and she appeared in a series of popular musicals with Mickey Rooney. Her personal life was very messy, with many affairs and problems with drugs and alcohol. She married director Vincente Minnelli in 1945, and in 1946 had daughter Liza. She went on to another marriage to Sid Luft, and the remainder of her life was very troubled, but she continued to perform, including giving two excellent film performances in "Judgment at Nuremberg" (where she was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award) and "A Child is Waiting". Some of her other movies include: Meet Me in St. Louis, A Star Is Born (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and many more. She passed away in 1969 at the age of 47 from an accidental barbiturate overdose. Important Added Info: Note that this deluxe photo has a very faint signature on the bottom. It was written in an ink that has almost completely faded, but when you tilt it to the light you can see that it says "To Lloyd, Best Wishes, Judy Garland". We have compared it to known signatures of Miss Garland, and we think it is far more likely that it was signed by a secretary to Miss Garland, and not Miss Garland herself. However, it is of course a vintage 1950s deluxe still of Judy Garland, and it certainly has collectible value, and besides, you can barely see the signature anyway (see our image). Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good to very good. There is a faint faded signature and inscription at lower left (see above and see our image). There are tape stains on the back of the top border, but they do not affect the front. Learn More about condition grades
