Auction History Result 3h256 DOUGLASS MONTGOMERY 8x10 key book still 1937 portrait from Life Begins with Love by Schafer! Date Sold 1/20/2019![]() Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Douglass Montgomery was an actor from the 1930s to the 1940s. Some of his movies include: Waterloo Bridge, The Way to the Stars, Everything is Thunder, Little Women, and the Cat and the Canary. Note that he was born "Robert Douglass Montgomery", and he was signed by MGM in the early 1930s, where they had him change his name to Kent Douglass, because the name "Robert Montgomery" had been taken by the famous actor the year before (which is ironic, because that Robert Montgomery's birth name was "Henry Montgomery"!). In 1935, MGM started losing faith in this actor, and they changed his name to "Douglass Montgomery", and started lending him to other studios. By the start of World War II, his career was in a major decline, and he served in the Canadian infantry for 4 years, in his 30s. He returned to acting after the war, but never got his career going again. Montgomery passed away in 1966 at the age of 58. 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 bottom of the still. Condition: very good. The bottom 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition!
