An Original Vintage 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Still (Learn More) Carl Laemmle Sr. was a legendary German-born entrepreneur who founded Universal Pictures in 1915, and was responsible for the many of the great successes that studio had in the 1920s. He brought his son, Carl Laemmle, Jr., into the business, By the 1930s, his son gained control of the studio. But he spent too much money on too many movies, and the studio was in rocky financial shape, and in the mid 1930s, the board of directors forced both father and son out of the studio, and neither made another movie! Laemmle Sr. passed away in 1939 at the age of 72 AND Juanita Quigley was an actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. At age 3, she began her acting career under the name of Baby Jane. She became famous for her role as Baby Jessie Pullman in the 1934 film Imitation of Life, which lead to a large role in The Man Who Reclaimed His Head, where she was fourth billed. In 1935, she dropped the pseudonym "Baby Jane" and began being credited under her real name, and by 1938 she was one of the most famous child actors in Hollywood. Her career slowed down in the 1940s and she eventually left Hollywood in 1951 to become a nun, but after several years, she decided she had made a mistake, left her convent and later married a former priest. Her last role was as an uncredited extra in Porky's II: The Next Day. Some of her movies include: National Velvet (where she appears alongside her sister Rita Quigley), The Devil-Doll, and Born to Dance. She passed away in 2017 at the age of 86. Important Added Info: Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Condition: very good to fine. There is a faint crease in the middle left, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light, and the still is otherwise in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
