An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Theda Bara (born Theodosia Goodman, but she was given the much more exotic stage name of Theda Bara, which is an anagram of "Arab Death") was the leading sex star in the mid 1910s. Unfortunately, her "fall" was as quick as her "rise", and by the early 1920s, her career was pretty much over (although old friend Hal Roach gave her some parts in his comedies in the early 1920s). But in her time, she was as great a sex symbol as there ever was! Some of her film roles include: Cleopatra, A Fool There Was, and Salome. She died in 1955 at age 69. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful deluxe still (printed on double weight paper stock) is hand signed in the bottom left by the photographer (he wrote "Witzel L.A."). Also note the veils on the mantle behind Bara, who is in full Salome costume, which she made at the time of this photograph (we have no doubt those veils were used in her "Dance of the Seven Veils", which cost John the Baptist his head!). Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
