FEATURED ITEM Hand-Drawn Ilustration Art of Ramon Novarro
Original drawing by Miki Gross 1/1 - 2009 Measure 5x8 Executed in Prismacolor Pencil
NOVARRO, RAMON (1899-1968) Mexican actor hailed as the "Latin Lover." Hugely successful star of silent films (Scaramouche, Ben Hur, among others). Novarro also made numerous sound films such as We Were Strangers and Mata Hari. At the peak of his career in the 1920s and 30s, Novarro was earning $100,000 per film. Although later successes were few and far between, Novarro wisely invested in real estate which enabled him to lead a comfortable, albeit, semi-private life with occasional film roles. While a lifelong, practicing Catholic, Novarro led a tortured double-life as a closeted gay man fearing the loss of celebrity status and work should his sexuality become public. Louis B. Mayer tried, unsuccessfully, to encourage Novarro in a "lavendar marriage" which he steadfastly resisted. Novarro paid the ultimate price when, after inviting two young men into his home, an extortion attempt turned into a brutal murder. The two brothers, Tom and Paul Ferguson, believed Novarro had a large sum of money in his home. The prosecution accused them of torturing Novarro for several hours to force him to reveal where the nonexistent money was hidden. The brothers lleft with a mere twenty dollars they took from his bathrobe pocket before fleeing the scene. Vintage signature on the reverse of a gentleman's calling card; professionally double-matted in rich suede matboard, under glass, and a sophisticated black lacquer frame (with an original artwork accomplished in prismacolor art pencil). $ 475 MIKI GROSS, an Orlando-based artist, has been prominent on the fashion and art-illustration scene for over 35 years. She has worked with major retail outlets in Seattle, Honolulu, Vienna and elsewhere. Her illustration art has appeared in national magazines and newspapers. Primarily working in pen and ink and colored pencil, Miki has an exceptional eye and talent as evidenced in the Ramon Novarro image. This is an original, one-of-a kind display piece, not a second or third-generation print. A magnificent work of art and desirable as such.

"...She's better known now as 'Mommie Dearest,' but it was Saint Joan of the teary eyes and rigid mouth who ruled women's weepies in the Golden Age. A creature of sheer will,, Crawford was a flapper in the '20s a coutured tootie in the '30s, an abused romantic in the '40s, a campy spectacle in the '50s -- and both a horror-movie star and a Pepsi board member in the 1960s. 'Mildred Pierce' (1945) won her an oscar -- and revenge on theater owners who had once called her "box office poison." But see the swooning 'Humoresque' (1946) or the nutty 'Johnny Guitar' (1954) if you want to catch her determination in all of its neurotic glory." -- Entertainment Weekly.
CRAWFORD, JOAN (1905-77) Academy Award-winning actress; named the tenth “Greatest Female Star of All Time” by the American Film Institute. Began her showbiz career as a dancer on Broadway. Eventually she landed a contract with M-G-M playing bit parts. By the 1930s, Crawford’s fame rivaled fellow MGM colleagues Norma Shearer and Greta Garbo. Went on to win an Academy Award for her performance in “Mildred Pierce.” In the 1950’s, through her marriage to Pepsi Cola executive Alfred Steele, Crawford became the product spokesperson. On the death of Steele, she occupied a place on the board until she was forcibly retired in 1973. Late in her career she appeared in lesser-grade productions such as “I Saw What You Did” “Berserk!” and the cult-classic “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane,” co-starring Bette Davis. Her last film was “Trog” which lacked any cinematic value. Said Crawford of that film, “If I weren’t a Christian Scientist and saw my name on the marquee for that film, I would commit suicide.” Typewritten Letter Signed, one-page, January 23, 1963. The front is typewritten and signed Joan. There is five-line, handwritten, postscript in Miss Crawford’s handwriting that continues on the reverse. Letter reads: “Thank you for thinking of me this Christmas, and for sending the beautiful card and charming letter to me. I certainly enjoyed the snapshot too. I’m delighted you have enjoyed reading my autobiography [Portrait of Joan, 1962] and I am grateful to you for telling me about it. Bless you, and I hope you have a wonderful year…Joan. P.S. I am delighted to have this snapshot. It was sweet of you to send it to me. Joan.” Accompanied by the original transmittal envelope. Hal Uchida (1930-97) was a deejay, ad-agency veteran and freelance Hollywood photographer. His career in entertainment included a stint as a deejay at an Atlantic City radio station where he co-hosted “Innovations,” interviewing stars such as Joan Crawford and Stan Kenton. In 1969, Uchida became radio-TV manager for the Harry W. Graff Madison Avenue ad agency. He moved his career to Hollywood 10 years later. The Crawford letter has been professionally double-matted with a dramatic image of Miss Crawford in a floral print dress and broad-brimmed hat. The display piece is designed in such manner as to be viewed from both sides. The display piece is not been framed. $ 245

He received his BA from Baylor in 1949 in English and History; his MA from Illinois in 1950 in English, and his PhD from Colorado in 1959 in English. Serving as associate dean of the graduate school at Texas Tech 1964-67, he was from 1967, until his accession to the presidency, dean of the college of arts and sciences at East Texas State University (now TAMU-Commerce).

First Lady of American Dance
deMILLE, AGNES (1905-93) American dancer and choreographer. Began her association with the American Ballet Theatre in 1939. Her first significant work, Rodeo (1942) with the score by Aaron Copland, was staged for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Although de Mille continued to choreograph nearly up to the time of her death -- most of her later works have dropped out of the ballet repertoire. Besides, Rodeo, two other de Mille ballets are performed on a regular basis: Three Virgins and a Devil and Fall River Legend (based on the life of Lizzie Borden). deMille is credited with choreographing the musical show Oklahoma. She went on to choreograph over a dozen other musicals, most notably: Carousel, Brigadoon, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Paint Your Wagon and Goldilocks. deMille's love of acting played an important role in her choreography. She revolutionized musical theatre by creating choreography which not only conveyed the emotional dimensions of the characters but also enhanced the plot. Her choreography, as a reflection of her awareness of acting, reflected the angst and turmoil of the characters instead of simply focusing on a dancer's physical technique. Mesdame deMille founded the Agnes de Mille Dance Theatre in 1953, later revived as Heritage Dance Theatre. Signed Photograph, a black and white glossy side view portrait measuring 4"x5" (signed late in life). Accompanied by an Autograph Note Signed on her personal letterhead in which she makes reference to Carmelita. The ensemble: $ 195.
"She has sex, but no particular gender," wrote Kenneth Tynan, and that sums up Dietrich's luminous ambiguity. Although her later career boasted high points like 'a Foreign Affair' (1948), it is the seven shimmering films Dietrich made with director Josef von Sternberg in the early '30s that put her in the pantheon. In 'The Blue Angel,' 'the Scarlet Empress,' 'Shanghai Express,' and others, von Sternberg molded his star into a baroque celluloid Venus -- a creature of light who mocks men, commitment, self, and, above all, the folly of romance. Critics argue how much of the achievement was her own, but the weary whiskey of her voice is proof that at least some of it was." Ty Burr.

FIELDS, TOTIE (SOPHIE FELDMAN) (1930-78) Hysterically funny, courageous comedienne who overcame numerous health problems for her craft. Fields gained game during the 1960s and '70s. Ed Sullivan gave Fields her first big break when he booked her on his show after seeing her perform at the Copacabana in New York. She made multiple appearances on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Mike Douglas Show and the Merv Griffin Show. In 1978, the last year of her life, Totie was voted "Entertainer of the Year" and "Female Comedy Star of the Year" by the American Guild of Variety Artists. Fields was plagued with health problems the last two years of her life. In 1976 her left leg was amputated above the knee when surgery to remove a blood clot failed. In 1977, to the astonishment of her fans, Fields starred in the HBO special series, Standing Room Only, beginning her show seated in a wheelchair. As the audience welcomed her, she stood up, causing the cheering audience to stand with her. Said Fields: "I've waited all my life to say this...I weigh less than Elizabeth Taylor!" The old Totie was back and the audience put at ease; if Fields could laugh at her problems, then it was all right to laugh with her. While still recovering from the amputation, Totie suffered two heart attacks. In October 1977 Fields was diagnosed with breast cancer and her right breast was removed. Nevertheless, Totie continued to perform, incorporating her health problems into her act. She was scheduled to appear at the Sahara Hotel when she suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism in her Las Vegas home on August 2, 1978.

Of Anthony Hopkins Entertainment Weekly Observed: "...It's amazing what an appetite for fava beans, Chianti, and human flesh can do for a career. Hopkins was long regarded as a capable and occasionally even brilliant actor. But after 27 minutes of screen time as Hannibal Lecter in 1991's 'The Silence of the Lambs' -- for which he won a Best Actor Oscar -- Hopkins became a supernova. Ever since, he's given a series of devastating performances, including his Oscar-nominated roles in 'The Remains of the Day' (1993) and 'Nixon" (1995). Of the latter, he said 'I'm just trying to play the human being." that is the core of his greatness -- finding the souls in men seemingly without them." -- David Hochman.

MUNI, Paul (1895-1967) American actor of stage and screen. Born Meshilem Meier Weisenfreund but known to his intimates as Moony. Began acting on Broadway in 1926. Three years later he was signed to Fox and received an oscar nomination for his first film "The Valiant." Unhappy with the roles then being offered, he returned to Broadway. Three years later he returned to Hollywood to star in such harrowing pre-code films as "Scarface" and "I Am A Fugitive from a Chain Gang." The acclaim he received as a result of the latter performance led to a Warner Brothers Studios contract. He received his second Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his performance as james Allen, but lost to Charles Laughton ("The Private Life of Henry VIII"). Muni eventually won a long-overdue Oscar for his performance in the biographical drama "the Story of Louis Pasteur." In 1946, Muni again appeared on Broadway in "A Flag is Born," refusing, along with co-stars Celia Adler and Marlon Brando, to accept compensation above the Actor's Equity minimum wage because of his commitment to the cause of creating a Jewish State in Israel. Muni was nominated for a total of five Academy Awards, an impressive number by any standard but all of the more remarkable for Muni since he only appeared in 25 films throughout his career. Film critic David Shipman called Muni "an actor of great integrity," and he prepared for his roles meticulously. Muni was widely recognized as an eccentric if talented individual. He would go into a range whenever anyone wore red but, at the same time, he could often be found between sessions relaxing with his violin. Over the years he also became increasing dependant on his wife, Bella, who terrified directors by forcing them to redo scenes that did not meet her satisfaction. A dispute with Warner led to the termination of Muni's contract, the result of which was stardom for Humphrey Bogard. Bogard had been bombarding studio head Jack Warner with telegrams, begging to be cast as Roy Erle in the film "High Sierra," a part that was supposed to have been played by Muni. But after Muni's departure from the studio, Warner told bogard that the part was his (according to rumor, he made the offer on the condition that Bogart stop sending him telegrams). After reigning as one of the biggest stars in Hollywood during the 1980s, Paul Muni only made eight films between 1941 and 1959. After several failed projects, Muni made a triumphant return to Broadway, winning a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play in 1956 for the role of Henry Drummond in "Inherit the Wind." Muni retired from filmmaking in 1959, soon after receiving his fifth Academy nomination for "The Last Angry Man." He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Vintage fountain pen ink signature, professionally matted with an original, vintage sepia-tone glossy portrait of Muni (in character as Dr. David Newcome) in the film "We Are Not Alone." $ 125 OLIVIER, (Baron) Laurence Kerr (1907-89) English actor, director and producer.
