Date Sold 8/28/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Dustin Farnum was an actor from the 1910s to the 1920s. He was a top star in cowboy and adventure movies (as was his brother William Farnum) from the mid 1910s through 1926, when he retired at the age of 52. He was the star of the first major western, The Squaw Man, in 1914, for Cecil B. DeMille. According to legend, he was given a salary of $5,000, but DeMille offered him a percentage of the movie if he would lower his salary in half, and he supposedly refused, but DeMille gave him a small amount of stock anyway, and Farnum thought so little of the movie that he gave it to his valet, who of course became rich after the movie was a massive success! Actor Dustin Hoffman says that his mother named him after this actor. Sadly, he only lived three years before he passed away in 1929, from kidney failure, at the age of 55. Condition: good. There are many creases and smudges throughout the still, with a pinhole at top center. Learn More about condition grades
