Date Sold 10/11/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Circa 1935 Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Greta Garbo was a legendary romantic Swedish actress from the 1924 to 1941 (she retired at the age of 35, still extremely popular, and lived in seclusion for many decades afterwards, living by her trademark expression, "I want to be alone"). Almost all other major leading ladies of the mid 1920s had their careers diminished or ruined by the coming of sound, but not Garbo, all the more remarkable because she was not native English-speaking and she had a strong accent. She first rose to prominence in a movie in her native Sweden, and then attracted the interest of Hollywood, but she would only sign a contract if they would sign her director as well, and MGM agreed! Some of her movies include: Ninotchka (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Queen Christina, Grand Hotel, Anna Christie (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Romance (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Camille (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film). Garbo passed away in 1990 at the age of 84. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: MGM created two different sets of personality posters in the 1930s to promote their stars. The later set was made in 1935, and this poster comes from that set. These posters are extremely rare as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! Note that these posters were printed on a high quality paper stock, but it is one that does not always age very well, and can become fragile (usually resulting in chips around the edges of the poster). Because of their fragile nature and their age, we always send these posters in large flat packages, and never roll them into tubes! PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER, UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY THE COST OF SHIPPING IT IN A LARGE FLAT PACKAGE! Condition: very good. There are a few creases scattered through the image (more so around the edges), but they are not very noticeable or distracting. There are some smudges and stains on the back of the borders of the poster, but they do not affect the front. There are pinholes in the top corners. There is a tiny tear near the center of the top border. NOTE THAT THESE MGM PERSONALITY POSTERS WERE PRINTED ON A PAPER STOCK THAT OFTEN AGED BADLY, AND MANY OF THESE HAVE BEEN FOUND THAT ARE VERY BRITTLE. THIS PARTICULAR POSTER IS NOT AT ALL BRITTLE!
