Date Sold 11/20/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 13 color 8x10 stills and mini lobby cards of Burt Lancaster. He was born in 1913, and was one of the last great "superstars". Yet he didn't make his first movie (The Killers) until he was 32, after working in a circus for years, and being in WWII. There has never been another actor like him, before or since! After a series of prison, crime, and swashbuckler movies (where he removed his shirt and showed his physical prowess often) he started taking "offbeat" roles (like in Mister 880, Come Back Little Sheba and The Rose Tattoo) and then, as his star grew and he had the clout to do so, he began taking more and more "different" roles, like in Sweet Smell of Success, Judgment at Nuremberg, Birdman Of Alcatraz (in his nominated for Best Actor Academy Award title role), A Child Is Waiting, The Leopard, Seven Days in May, The Swimmer, Elmer Gantry (in his Best Actor Academy Award winning role) and others, and if you haven't seen any of the above, I highly recommend them all! Of course he was also great in most of his "commercial" movies like Trapeze, Brute Force, From Here To Eternity (in his nominated for Best Actor Academy Award role), Gunfight at the O.K. Corral , Lawman, and many others! At 64 he played the lead in Go Tell the Spartans, a great anti-Vietnam War movie, and two years later he was a credible male romantic lead (at 66) in Atlantic City (in his nominated for Best Actor Academy Award role). Two of his best supporting roles came at the end of his career, in Local Hero and in Field of Dreams. He is well remembered for his odd clipped speech (loved by impressionists) and for his supposed great friendship with Kirk Douglas, with whom he made 7 films (but he said, "Kirk would be the first to admit that he's difficult to work with - and I would be the second"! He seemed so much larger than life, and a giant of a man, but he was 6'1". He passed away in 1994. Note that the items in this lot are from the 1950s to the 1970s. Condition: very good to fine.
