A Camera Original Photographic Transparency (measures 4" x 5" [10 x 13 cm]) (Learn More) Mitzi Gaynor (born Francesca Marlene de Czanyi von Gerber) was a mostly musical actress from the 1950s to the 1960s. Her mother was a dancer, and her father was a violinist and music director, and she definitely inherited all their talent! She moved to Hollywood when she was 11 and devoted herself to dancing and by 13, she was singing and dancing with the Los Angeles Civic Light Opera. At 17, she lied about her age and signed a 7 year contract with 20th Century-Fox. Some of her movies include: South Pacific, There's No Business Like Show Business, Les Girls, We're Not Married!, and The Joker Is Wild. In the mid 1950s, she stopped making movies and performed a lot on television, on awards shows, and also had a nightclub variety act. In the 1960s, she became a featured columnist for The Hollywood Reporter and had a stage show called The Mitzi Gaynor Show from the 1970s to the 1980s. In 2006, her husband of 52 years passed away, and Mitzi passed away in 2024 at the age of 93 Important Added Info: Note that this is a transparency that was in the camera when the photographer shot the image. Such "camera original" transparencies are, of course, many times more rare than ones that are created by the studio from those originals and distributed to theaters and media outlets. The transparency is in a plastic sleeve (but we removed it and scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is). It will be sent to the winner of the auction in the sleeve.
UPDATED 12/30/2024: Note that we originally listed this as being created by the studio because, while we thought there was an excellent chance it was a camera original, we were not certain. But a major expert has confirmed that this absolutely is a camera original, so we have listed it that way (but it is still in the section with studio issued ones). Please bid on this knowing that it was in the camera when it was taken and is a one-of-a-kind "camera original". Condition: good. The color of the transparency has "shifted" from how it originally was, but otherwise, it is in nice condition. The image can be "color corrected" to look as it originally was.
