Auction History Result 4d0199 CAROLE LOMBARD 22x28 personality poster 1936 portrait of the sexy Paramount star, rare! Date Sold 4/16/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Carole Lombard was an actress from the 1920s to the 1940s. In her early movies, she mostly had minor supporting roles in comedies, and she was billed as "Carol", but she added the "e" as she became a major star. One of her greatest successes was Twentieth Century, where she played a girl who has never acted, who becomes a great star under the tutelage of Svengali-like John Barrymore. Some of her other movies include: To Be or Not To Be, My Man Godfrey (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Mr. and Mrs. Smith. In the early 1930s, she married William Powell, but they amicably divorced, and several years later, she had a torrid love affair with Clark Gable, and they later married. Lombard died tragically in a 1942 plane crash when she was at the height of her career. She was just 33 years old. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this personality poster, and one of them has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Also note that normally, personality posters like these were not dated, because they were intended to be used for at least a couple of years. In the case of this series from Paramount (the ones with this border design), each of the posters are dated 1936 (but surely they stayed in use past that year). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded, but it was fairly tightly rolled at one time, causing faint horizontal creases to be scattered through the poster. Some of them are more noticeable than others, but they are not all that distracting. There are some faint stains and the tiniest of tears and tiniest bits of paper loss around the edges.
