DeMille was a legendary director from the 1910s to the 1950s. What makes him so remarkable is that he made some of the very first great movies, including "The Squaw Man" in 1914, but he was one of the only great silent directors to have no trouble transitioning to sound, and he made great movies in the sound era, even into the 1950s! Some of his movies include: The Ten Commandments, The Greatest Show on Earth, and Samson and Delilah. Of course, he also had a memorable acting role in Billy Wilder's "Sunset Boulevard" in 1950 (he did a great job, but it was made easier because he was playing himself!). He passed away in 1959 at the age of 77 AND Jeanie MacPherson was a legendary actress, director and writer from the 1900s to the 1950s (but she is certainly best remembered as a screenwriter, and she had a long association with legendary producer/director Cecil B. DeMille). She was one of the foremost early women in Hollywood and was one of the founders of the Motion Picture Academy. Some of her movies include: The Buccaneer, The Ten Commandments, and The King of Kings. She passed away in 1946 at the age of 60. Important Added Info: Note that this great candid key book still shows Cecil B. DeMille in 1934, in his office with the original camera that he used to shoot The Squaw Man in 1914. With him are Anne Bauchens, his film cutter, and Jeanie Macpherson, his screenwriter! Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still. Condition: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
