An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More)

Donald O'Connor was an actor from the 1930s to the 2000s. He started as a juvenile actor in the late 1930s, and then was paired with Gloria Jean by Universal in an attempt to make musicals similar to MGM's featuring Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. He continued as a popular musical actor throughout the 1940s, and in 1952, he had probably his greatest role in Singin' in the Rain, especially his "Make 'em Laugh" number! In the 1940s and 1950s, he was the star of the popular "Francis the Talking Mule" series of movies. Some of his other movies include: Out to Sea, That Funny Feeling, and Yes Sir, That's My Baby. He passed away in 2003 at the age of 78.
Important Added Info: The coloring of the transparency has changed over the years, and our consignor prepared a "color corrected" version (through PhotoShop), and we have an image of the transparency as it appears alongside the color corrected version, but of course, the auction is for a single transparency.

Note that this is the CAMERA ORIGINAL transparency that was in the camera when the photographer shot this transparency! In the case of this transparency, it was taken by Hollywood photographer Bud Fraker, and "COLOR BY BUD FRAKER" is embossed in the bottom right corner of the transparency!


This is a very special auction of 444 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes. EVERY single one in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size.

Also note that every one of these 444 auctions have had their transparencies and/or negatives scanned expertly. This auction contains that scan with the "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. ONLY the winner of this auction will, on request, be sent UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the items in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make high quality positive prints of the items they purchased.

Condition: good. The color of the transparency has changed from how it originally was, but otherwise, it is in nice condition. We have supplied a second image that is "color corrected" to look as it originally was (see above).
