An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Key Book Still (Learn More) Kathleen Burke was an actress during the 1930s. She was an 18 year old dental assistant in Chicago (and a part-time fashion model, who had also done some radio and stage acting) and was one of 60,000 women who submitted her photograph for a contest Paramount Pictures held for the role of "The Panther Woman" in Island of Lost Souls in 1932. But her exotic looks made her hard to cast, and she never really had much success (her best roles were in The Lives of a Bengal Lancer with Gary Cooper, and The Last Outpost with Cary Grant, both in 1935) and in 1938, at the age of 25, she married for the third time and had a child and retired! She passed away in 1980 at the age of 66. Important Added Info: 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 top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
