An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-release Vintage 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Television Still (Learn More) Ida Lupino was an English actress and director from the 1930s to the 1970s. Her father was English comedian Stanley Lupino, and her mother took took her to an audition in 1932, and she got the part. In 1934, when she was 16, she went to Hollywood, and she had a series of minor roles. It was not until 1939's "The Light That Failed" that she got a better part, and she had some major roles in the early 1940s, including The Sea Wolf and High Sierra. In the late 1940s, discouraged with the parts she was offered, she began directing and producing movies! She passed away in 1995 at the age of 77. Important Added Info: Note that these this still is undated and measures 8" x 10", and appears to look identical to stills from the first release of this movie. But it is on a "newer" paper stock that is blank on the back ("newer" than the 1930s or 1940s, but consistent with the paper stock used in the 1960s, and the printing is quite nice). We believe that it was created in the 1960s when this movie was shown on TV, and that stills like this were distributed to TV stations. We have been consigned some large collections of stills that came directly from TV stations, and they included a large number of stills that are very similar to these, which makes us think it is even more likely that these were created in the 1960s for TV use. But we can't say for certain, so please do not bid on this still unless you can accept that uncertainty as to when it was created. Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. 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
