Description

Forbidden (Columbia, 1932). Fine/Very Fine. Lobby Card (11" X 14").
The star of such classic films as Double Indemnity (1944), The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946), and Sorry, Wrong Number (1948), Barbara Stanwyck began her show business career as a dancer earning the lavish sum of $40 per week. She moved to Hollywood in 1928, where she quickly began appearing in feature films like this one, in which she plays a librarian who falls in love with the wrong man. Stanwyck is lovely on this colorful card, universally revered as not only the best in the set, but one of the most attractive and suggestive images from any of Stanwyck's pre-Code entries. There are slightly aggravated pinholes in the upper corners and at approx. 3/4 down left and right margins, plus a 2" tall strip of kraft tape remains pasted across entire verso lower border, which has left barely perceptible waves on recto, though otherwise the paper itself, and the colors, remain as fresh as the day printed. It's a beautiful piece that spotlights a talented actress at the dawn of an impressive career.
