An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Audie Murphy was an actor from the 1940s to the 1960s. He was the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II. After Murphy played himself in "To Hell and Back" he went on to a long career in movies, marred by his personal difficulties (at least partially a result of his war experiences, though it is noted that he had mood swings even as a child). Some of his movies include: Texas, Brooklyn and Heaven, The Kid from Texas, The Red Badge of Courage, Night Passage, and Apache Rifles. He passed away in 1971 at the age of 46 when the private plane he was a passenger in crashed. Important Added Info: Note that studios had to submit their photos for approval, and those photos were often unretouched, because there was no sense in touching them up if they were not approved. Often, they would touch up the negative to make the star's skin appear perfect and unblemished and unlined. This portrait of Audie Murphy is unretouched. 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
