An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Decca Records Still (Learn More) Deanna Durbin was a Canadian juvenile actress and singer from the 1930s to the 1940s. In 1935, when she was just 13 years old, she sang an operatic aria at a Hollywood benefit, and Universal Studios was so impressed, they signed her to a long term contract (which turned out to be a wonderful move on their part)! She was studying opera with the Spanish opera star Andres de Segurola, but she dropped that when she started movies. Some of her movies include: Mad About Music, It Started with Eve, Three Smart Girls Grow Up, One Hundred Men and a Girl, and Every Sunday. In the early 1940s, she was Universal's biggest star and in 1947 she was the highest paid female star in Hollywood. Deanna abruptly retired from acting in 1948 at the age of 26 and withdrew from public life. She passed away in 2013 at the age of 91. Important Added Info: Note that this still is one of a remarkable group of deluxe Decca Records Jazz portraits that was just discovered! Each is printed on a high quality paper stock, and each has a FACSIMILE autograph that is within the printing of the still (the still has NOT been personally autographed). They surely date from the early 1940s, based on the stars contained within, and the records listed on the back of each. We have never seen or sold any of these before! Each of the 34 portraits are listed in their own individual auction. Condition: very good. There is a 1 1/2" crease in the lower right border. Learn More about condition grades
