An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] 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 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: good to very good. There is a tiny dot stain on Hampton's tooth and the still has slightly changed to a sepia color. Learn More about condition grades
