Auction History Result 9x142 MARION DAVIES deluxe 8x13.25 still 1928 montage of her as other actresses in question mark! Date Sold 9/24/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 13 1/4" [20 x 34 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Marion Davies was an actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. Some of her movies include: Cain and Mabel, Going Hollywood, Blonde of the Follies, Janice Meredith, When Knighthood was in Flower, Little Old New York, Zander the Great, and Marianne. She is well remembered for being the longtime mistress of William Randolph Hearst, and Orson Welles largely based the Susan Alexander Kane character in Citizen Kane on her, but, unlike that character, she was actually a talented comedienne who would surely have been a success even if she had not had Hearst pushing her career! She passed away in 1961 at the age of 64. Important Added Info: Note that this cool still shows Marion Davies made up to look like six famous actresses in one of their most famous roles! Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 8" x 13 1/4" [20 x 34 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. The still likely originally measured 11" x 14", but someone trimmed it around the image portion (it seems extremely likely only blank white paper was affected, and the very end of the still code number at bottom right). It also was folded between the top and bottom of the question mark (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
