She was born in 1868, and was on Broadway in her 20s, and in 1914, starred in "Tillie's Punctured Romance" over a very young Charlie Chaplin; but her career waned and she quit films a few years later returning to Broadway, and by the late 1920s, her career seemed over; but legendary producer Irving Thalberg cast her in "Anna Christie" in 1930, and she rapidly became a major star, in spite of her advanced age and plain face, appearing in many of MGM's greatest movies, as well as a series of very successful comedies; she received the Best Actress Oscar for Min and Bill in 1930, and is probably best remembered for her role in Dinner at Eight; sadly, she died of cancer in 1934 at the age of 65. Some of her other movies include: The Patsy, Tugboat Annie, Emma (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and The Girl Said No Important Added Info: Note that this jumbo lobby card is one of a series created in the early 1930s and it measures 14" x 17" (most other studios issued these as 22x28s, but Fox and Columbia did this smaller size, perhaps to economize on printing costs). Condition: good to very good. This was trimmed from a larger size, but we don't know how much larger, and it appears likely that only the blank borders were trimmed off.
