Date Sold 9/29/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Dick Powell was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Just Around the Corner, Gold Diggers of 1933, Murder, My Sweet, Footlight Parade, and The Bad and the Beautiful. He was a light romantic musical star in the 1930s (and he released several albums during this period), and then he completely "reinvented" himself in the 1940s, playing tough guys in movies such as "Murder, My Sweet"! He was married to actresses Joan Blondell and June Allyson. He passed away in 1963 at the age of 58. He was one of the many actors who died from cancer after filming the 1956 film The Conqueror, which was shot downwind from nuclear weapons testing sites. AND Joan Blondell was a popular Warner Bros. actress from the 1930s to the 1980s, often in movies with James Cagney. She was born "Rose Joan Blondell" in 1906, and under the name "Rosebud Blondell" she won the 1926 Miss Dallas pageant and placed fourth for Miss America in Atlantic City that same year. Placed under contract by Warners in 1930, she moved to Hollywood where studio boss Jack Warner wanted her to change her name to "Inez Holmes", but Blondell refused. She appeared in lots of Warner Bros movies of the 1930s, and she helped define what "pre-Code" means! She also was one of the very few sexy actresses who not only did not die young, but she also successfully transitioned to character roles, and she had significant character roles in all the decades from the 1940s through the late 1970s! Some of her movies include: Nightmare Alley, The Public Enemy, Footlight Parade, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, Blue Veil (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and Blonde Crazy Important Added Info: Note that our consignor tells us this is a George Hurrell portrait, but it is not credited on the negative (which is not surprising). Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo. We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. It came in a glassine bag envelope and will be sent to the winner of the auction in that. These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Many smaller format camera original negatives do not have retouching on them or numbers due to their smaller size. 8x10, 5x7 and 4x5 negatives were primarily the sizes used in the 1920s through the 1940s. 2 1/4" Rollei negatives and 35mm negatives became an industry standard in the 1950s and beyond until the digital revolution in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This is a very special auction of 366 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, and also lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single item in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size. Also note that this auction is for one or more negatives, and every one of the auctions of negatives we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the negatives in this auction, and they have been scanned so that you see a "positive" image (and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it), but the auction is for the actual negative. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will also, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED positive scan(s) of the negative(s) in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of creating a positive scan themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased from that scan, if they desire.
