Date Sold 3/17/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical French 10 3/4" x 14 1/2" [27 x 37 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this French still measures 10 3/4" x 14 1/2" [27 x 37 cm]. It is printed with very wide borders that create the illusion of a mat (this is further reinforced by the printed borders around the image itself). Obviously, this was intended to be placed directly into a frame! It originally had a glassine sheet that was wrapped over the top of the still and glued to the top of the back of the still, but it is no longer present (except for the small portion of if that is glued to the back of the top of the still. We know this to be a French still by the "EDITE PAR CINEMONDE" printed in tiny letters at the bottom center. We imagine it was created by the French movie magazine, Cinemonde. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There is a scuff mark in Garbo's hair and a few faint creases and scuffs scattered throughout the still, with some smudges and a small faint water stain in the blank white borders, with a crease in the bottom left corner (see our image).
