Academy Award Portfolio, the 1962 book advertising painted portraits of Academy Award winning stars ("69 Portraits"; "A complete collection starting with 1928 to current winners"; "Now available here"), featuring images of Sophia Loren ("1961- Two Women - Champion/Les Films"), Bing Crosby ("1944 - Going My Way - Paramount"), Marlon Brando ("1954 - On the Waterfront - Horizon/American"), Elizabeth Taylor ("1960 - Butterfield 8 - Afton/Linebrook"), Janet Gaynor ("1928 - Seventh Heaven - Fox"), Audrey Hepburn ("1953 - Roman Holiday - Paramount"), and Clark Gable ("1934 - It Happened One Night - Columbia"). Note that the son of a former theater owner tells us that this special poster was included with sets of promotional photographs that were mailed to theater owners. He also states that the portraits were not authorized by the Academy and were recalled, so it is quite likely that only a few of these special posters still exist today! NOTE THAT THIS PORTFOLIO ORIGINALLY CONTAINED 69 PORTRAITS, BUT ONLY 59 OF THEM ARE PRESENT, AND THERE WAS ALSO A PRINTED FOLDER THAT HELD THEM, WHICH IS ALSO MISSING. Measurements: 8" x 10 1/2"Condition: very good. The portraits that are present are in pretty good condition (see above for full information about the missing portaits).
