Description
This is a VERY RARE original circa 1933, 8 x 10 inch full length portrait of 19 year old starlet, HEDY LAMARR (then Hedy Kiesler) provocatively posed in a thinly veiled negligee. Publicity for the 1933 Czech/Austrian film, “ECSTASY”. Well Documented Photo! Still Number EX-25. This still was originally archived on Nov.21, 1936. This film was highly controversial and was banned in the US until late 1940. However it was freely shown in European countries throughout 1934. It was the first non-pornographic film to portray sexual intercourse and full frontal nudity of Lamarr. This image was from the original 1933 release of the film. She would not make another film until five years later in MGM’s “Algiers”. Her name would change from Kiesler to Lamarr and the film would launch her into American Stardom. The photo is in VERY GOOD condition with some surface impressions, corner creasing and edge wear. There is also light publication touch-up to accentuate her image. Original Stills from this film are Extremely Scarce! I do combine shipping on multiple items. Shipping in Canada and the USA is 12.00. (I take my packaging and shipping very seriously, see my feedback) I will also ship Internationally, Tracked Packet-International for 40.00. Payment is due within 7 days of auction ending.
Please Note: I do not make money on shipping charges and will refund the difference.
