Date Sold 4/26/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Theda Bara (born Theodosia Goodman, but she was given the much more exotic stage name of Theda Bara, which is an anagram of "Arab Death") was the leading sex star in the mid 1910s. Unfortunately, her "fall" was as quick as her "rise", and by the early 1920s, her career was pretty much over (although old friend Hal Roach gave her some parts in his comedies in the early 1920s). But in her time, she was as great a sex symbol as there ever was! Some of her film roles include: Cleopatra, A Fool There Was, and Salome. She died in 1955 at age 69. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful still shows Theda Bara at her Los Angeles home on the "little Japanese bridge overlooking an artificial lily pond". We imagine this is how she dressed and wore her makeup when she was at home, although she could have been in costume for a movie. If anyone knows more about this still, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There is tiny paper loss and a 1/2" tear near the center of the top border, with a few tiny tears in the left border, and tiny paper loss in the top left corner. There is some minor wear in the rest of the borders, and otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
