An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Johnny Mack Brown was an actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He was star football player in college, and when he graduated, he was signed to a contract by MGM. He initially naturally appeared in sports movies, and graduated to the leads in some A-movies, but in 1930, he starred in "Billy the Kid", and he soon was typecast in westerns, and by the late 1930s, Johnny was solely making B-westerns, mostly for Monogram Pictures, and he was one of the most successful cowboy stars of the 1940s. Some of his movies include: Apache Uprising, Short Grass, and Hollywood Halfbacks. He passed away in 1974 at the age of 70. Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. Also note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
