An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Hope Hampton was an actress in the 1920s only (see below for why). She was born Mae Elizabeth Hampton in Houston, Texas in 1897, and won a beauty contest, and quickly became a star in silent movies. In 1922, she met married film executive Jules Brulatour, and became his mistress, and the following year, he divorced his wife and married Hampton. In 1927, she retired and became an opera singer, but she spent more of her time as a society lady, and among other things, she amassed a collection of over 5,000 designer gowns! She came out of retirement for one movie in 1938 (directed by her husband), and they remained married until he passed away in 1946. She was prominent socially for many years and she passed away in 1982, at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been personally autographed (signed) by Hope Hampton! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this signed item (and several others that are in this auction that have this same paragraph on them) was consigned to us by a major movie paper dealer who acquired these autographed items over a period of many years. He purchased them from reputable dealers, and he has compared the signatures to known authentic signatures, and he feels certain that they are genuine. Condition: very good. The still is very slightly rippled in the top and bottom borders due to exposure to moisture. There is a tiny bit of smudging in the top right of the signature. Overall, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
