An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Chili Williams (born Marian Sorenson) was an actress and model from the 1940s to the 1950s. She was known as "The Polka-Dot Girl" after a Life magazine pin-up photo of her in a polka dot bikini was published in 1943, which generated over 100,000 fan letters, and made her a favorite World War II pin-up girl. She got a movie contract and had some minor roles, and also had romances with Rory Calhoun and Jack Carson. She was in a scandal when she posed for Earl Moran, and Mrs. Moran walked in on Earl and a nude Chili! Later, she was arrested for breaking into an ex-boyfriend's apartment. After a failed marriage, she married again in 1954 and retired from acting, opening a dress shop in Las Vegas and having a son and daughter. She remained married until she passed away in 2003 at the age of 81. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this still likely has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has the letters "TRR". One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that 160 of the stills in this set of auctions come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of almost his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of those stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: very good. There are a few faint thumbnail creases around the edges, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
