An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Two-Lane Blacktop, the classic 1971 Monte Hellman illegal-street-car-drag-racing thriller ("James Taylor is the driver. Warren Oates is GTO. Laurie Bird is the girl. Dennis Wilson is the mechanic. Two-Lane Blacktop is the picture."; about two men drag racing across the USA in a grey '55 Chevy; based on the story by Will Corry) starring James Taylor, Warren Oates, Laurie Bird (in her first movie role), Harry Dean Stanton, and Dennis Wilson (member of the rock & roll group The Beach Boys, in his sole acting appearance!). Note that Laurie Bird was 17 year old model when she got this major role. She did a great job and it seemed like it would be the start of a substantial career, but alas, that was not to be. Following a couple more minor roles, she quit acting and became a photographer. At the age of 25, she committed suicide in her boyfriend's (Art Garfunkel's) apartment.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 130 Thirty by Forty posters in this set of auctions which mostly contains unfolded one-sheets. At first glance, a Thirty by Forty LOOKS similar to a one-sheet, but they are printed on a heavier paper stock and they are not ever folded, which many of the one-sheets from the same time period are. Most Thirty by Forties are far more rare than the one-sheets from the same titles. Please bid on this poster knowing it is a Thirty by Forty and NOT a one-sheet. Condition: very good to fine. Other than having a few light creases scattered in various areas the poster is in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
