An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 1/4" x 9" [18 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Elke Sommer (born Elke Schletz) is a sexy blonde German actress from the 1950s to the present. She was born in 1940 and her father was a Lutheran minister, but sadly he died when she was just 14. Her mother let her go to England when she was just 16 to be an au pair to an actress, and the following year director Vittorio De Sica discovered her and she was in movies when she was 17. Some of her movies include: A Shot in the Dark, The Victors, The Prize, The Wrecking Crew, and The Money Trap. She memorably had pictorials in the September 1964 and December 1967 issues of Playboy magazine. She moved back to Germany in the 1980s, and continued to act there, in both movies and on TV. She much later moved to Los Angeles and as of 2023 is still alive at the age of 83! Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned many stills that have "APPROVED" stamped on the back (all stills at this time had to be submitted to the Advertising Code Administration!). We have seen a relatively small number of stills that have "APPROVED WITH RETOUCHING AS INDICATED", but we don't remember ever previously auctioning a still that was stamped "DISAPPROVED" on the back as this one is! I guess Elke's bare back was just too much for this censor! Also note that this still measures 7 1/4" x 9" [18 x 23 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
