Date Sold 9/5/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm] Deluxe Movie Still (Learn More) Lana Turner (born Julia Jean Mildred Frances Turner) was an actress from the 1930s to the 1990s. She was born in 1921 in Idaho, and her father was murdered when she was a young girl, and her mother moved to California. In 1937, she was discovered at a soda fountain (not Schwab's, but one close by), and she had a small role in 1937's "They Won't Forget", and she became very popular very quickly. She remained a top leading actress for over 20 years, though her turbulent personal life definitely affected her career (including the murder of her violent gangster lover, Johnny Stompanato, by her own 14 year old daughter Cheryl Crane, and also her eight husbands, the first of which was bandleader Artie Shaw, who himself was married eight times, including to Ava Gardner!). Some of her movies include: The Postman Always Rings Twice, Imitation of Life, The Bad and the Beautiful, Peyton Place (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. She passed away in 1995 at the age of 74. Important Added Info: Note that this deluxe still has been personally autographed (signed) by Lana Turner! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock, and it has been trimmed and it now measures 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm]. This is one of several signed photos and letters that were given to Virgil Proctor, who was a member of the crew on a movie this star worked on (he was a "best boy" on a number of movies of this period, and there are others he worked on that he was not credited on). These items from Virgil Proctor's estate are personalized to him, and while his family does not have a certificate of authenticity for any of the items, we are certain the signatures are authentic (in our July Major Auction, we auctioned an unsigned Spartacus money clip (which sold for $678) and an unsigned Christmas card (which sold for $980), both of which were given to Mr. Proctor by Kirk Douglas, and obviously, the stars he worked with cared enough to personally sign and gift items to him!). As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: fair. The still was trimmed, likely from 8" x 10". There is light staining scattered through most of the still, but it does not affect the signature or inscription. Someone wrote a lot of information about the movie "Imitation of Life" on the back, but it does not affect the front. Learn More about condition grades
