An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Jumbo Lobby Card (LC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Ruth Chatterton was a stage and screen actress from the 1920s to the 1950s. Because she was an established Broadway star before she turned to Hollywood, she was a leading star from her first movie! She is best remembered as Fran Dodsworth in the movie "Dodsworth". Some of her other movies include: Frisco Jenny, The Right To Love, Madame X (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Sarah & Son (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Lilly Turner. She was also a licensed pilot who flew her own plane across the country! Ruth passed away in 1961 at the age of 68. Important Added Info: Note that all of the studios made "vertical" half-sheet posters (28" x 22") that each had an image of their top stars, sometimes with no borders, and sometimes with borders. These started in the very early 1910s, and continued into the middle 1940s! Sometimes they would be distributed with specific movies from those stars, and sometimes they would be sold as sets. They are all at least somewhat rare, and some are impossible to find. In addition, studios made similar "jumbo lobby card portraits" (17" x 14"), also with a vertical orientation, and also with a head shot of a leading star. These are even more rare than the half-sheet portraits, and a very few of them are known to exist. We have been consigned an amazing large collection of jumbo lobby cards, which includes a number of these portraits, and all of them are being auctioned, each in its own auction. This is a rare opportunity to purchase these super rarities! Condition: very good to fine. There are some tiny dot stains in the right border, with minor wear in the top right corner. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
