Oscar presented to Jane Darwell for Best Supporting Actress as Ma Joad in 1940’s ”The Grapes of Wrath.” Based on John Steinbeck’s novel published just a year prior, ”The Grapes of Wrath” is considered one of the finest motion pictures ever produced, consistently ranking among the top 25 by the American Film Institute; it was also one of the first 25 films selected for preservation by the Library of Congress. It told, through eloquent cinematography and screenwriting, the story of the Joad family, beaten down but not destroyed by the Great Depression. Along with Jane Darwell, the film took home the Best Director Oscar and was nominated in five additional categories. Jane Darwell was one of the most prolific character actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood, with over 100 films to her credit, and was considered the film’s headliner, along with Henry Fonda, in this role. Issued during the period when the traditional Oscar statue was only given to actors in leading roles, this bronze tablet-style award features the Oscar figure in relief. Beside it, the words ”Academy / of / Motion Picture / Arts & Sciences / Award of Merit / for / Outstanding / Achievement” appear. Mounted to a black marble base, upon which a plaque is engraved: ”Presented to / Jane Darwell / In Recognition of Her Performance in / ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ / 1940”. Award measures 6.25” in total height, 5.75” across, and base measures 3.25” deep. Weighs 3 lbs., 10 oz. Minor rubbing to the gold plating, which remains quite bright. Some tarnishing to plaque and a small chip to top of the tablet. In very good plus condition. A stunning award for one of Hollywood’s greatest films.
Sold for $180,972.

Oscar statue awarded to Joan Crawford for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role as the title character in the 1945 film “Mildred Pierce”. Joan Crawford currently ranks in the American Film Institute’s top ten actresses in the history of cinema. After rocketing to stardom in MGM’s pictures “Sally, Irene and Mary,” “Our Dancing Daughters” and “Untamed,” Crawford became one of the biggest movie stars of the day, the flapper ideal for the modern woman. Her reign as so-called “Queen of the Movies” spanned the entire Great Depression era. She left MGM for Warner Brothers in 1943 and then, despite rumors that her career was over, convinced director Michael Curtiz, who had just won the Oscar for “Casablanca,” to cast her in the lead role as “Mildred Pierce.” The murder mystery film was adapted to the screen from the James M. Cain novel of the same name and produced by Jerry Wald and Jack Warner. Crawford’s character is the subject and driving force of the noir film, a divorced woman enslaved by her need to gain the approval of her spoiled, elitist teenage daughter, Veda. Ann Blyth plays Veda, and herself was Oscar-nominated for her supporting role. Joan Crawford’s role as Mildred Pierce was regarded as her triumphant comeback, and indeed, the winning of this Oscar ultimately proved to be the true pinnacle of her extraordinary Hollywood career; it is considered one of the Best Actress performances of all time. The plaque affixed to the front of the base is engraved: “Academy First Award / To / Joan Crawford / For Her Performance In / ‘Mildred Pierce’”. Gold-plated statue of “Oscar” standing on a film reel measures 10.25″ in height atop a round black base to an overall height of 13.25″. Base measures 5.5″ in diameter. Statue weighs 6 lbs. 2 oz. Light speckling and rubbing to finish and scattered chips to base, else near fine. With provenance from Christie’s. Sold for $426,732.
