An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 12 3/4" [25 x 32 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Marie Dressler was a Canadian actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. She was born in 1868, and was on Broadway in her 20s, and in 1914, starred in "Tillie's Punctured Romance" over a very young Charlie Chaplin; but her career waned and she quit films a few years later returning to Broadway, and by the late 1920s, her career seemed over; but legendary producer Irving Thalberg cast her in "Anna Christie" in 1930, and she rapidly became a major star, in spite of her advanced age and plain face, appearing in many of MGM's greatest movies, as well as a series of very successful comedies; she received the Best Actress Oscar for Min and Bill in 1930, and is probably best remembered for her role in Dinner at Eight; sadly, she died of cancer in 1934 at the age of 65. Some of her other movies include: The Patsy, Tugboat Annie, Emma (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and The Girl Said No Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 10" x 12 3/4" [25 x 32 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 201 "oversized" stills we are auctioning this week. All of the stills measure greater than 8" x 10", and most measure 11" x 14". Many are deluxe (printed on a heavy weight paper stock), and many are stamped or embossed with the names of famous photographers of the time. This is surely the finest collection of such stills we have ever offered! In each case, we always identify the exact measurements of the still, whether or not it is deluxe, and if a photographer is credited (and we have high quality scans of both the front and back of every still, so you can see exactly what is on the back of each, and so you can clearly determine the exact condition of each). If you have the slightest interest in these, be sure to look over all of the 201"oversized" stills we are currently offering. We promise you won't be disappointed! Condition: good. The still has darkened somewhat and there are some faint scuffs and tiny stains scattered through the still, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light.
