Rare Candid Photograph of Buster Keaton From 1928’s “The Cameraman” — 8″ x 10″ — Edgewear, Creases, Wear — Good Condition
Nate D. Sanders Auctions has sold the following film memorabilia:
Academy Award statue for 1933’s ”Little Women.” Trophy was presented at the 6th Academy Awards in 1934 to husband and wife writing team Sarah Y. Mason and Victor Heerman for their screen adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel. This was David O. Selznick’s last production for RKO, directed by George Cukor, and though it was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Direction, this was its sole win. Katharine Hepburn starred as spirited heroine Jo March in a middle-class American family during the Civil War. Alcott’s immensely popular novel, first published in 1868, caused lasting controversies; just ahead of its time, it redefined women’s social ideals for love and identity through work, and pushed the envelope in fiction with its uninhibited blending of children’s fiction with women’s literature, ultimately pioneering an entire literary genre all its own. Feature-length remakes of this picture were produced in 1949 and 1994. Plaque on the front of black Belgian marble base reads: ”Academy Of / Motion Picture / Arts And Sciences / First Award / 1933”. A medallion affixed to the underside reads: ”Academy / First Award / to / Sara Y. Mason / And / Victor Heerman / for / Writing Adaptation / of / Little Women”. Behind the figure’s feet, an engraving to the film reel reads ”George Stanley / 1929”. Statue measures 12” in total height. Base diameter measures 5.25”. Weighs 7 pounds, 11 ounces. Underside is lined with black felt. Light scattered scratching and tarnishing to metal, with a tiny chip to the figure’s left inner elbow and faint abrasions to base, else fine. An beautiful, early Oscar for one of the most memorable Hollywood films. Sold for $112,368.

In fact, most of the film’s completed footage remained unseen for many years. Monroe notoriously had missed a slew of shooting days due to a ”sinus infection” that disappeared at night, when she was photographed about town. This infuriated director George Cukor, and Twentieth Century-Fox went so far as to fire her on 11 June 1962 for missing 17 of the 30 shooting days. But, when co-star Dean Martin countered with, ”No Marilyn, no picture”, the studio relented and took her back, though she sadly died less than two months later. Script runs 161pp. long with 51 revised pages. Spine of script has the film’s title printed in black lettering with the date ”March 29, 1962.” Cover has ”Final / Confidential / For Planning Purposes Only” printed on it, as well as, ”Something’s Got to Give / March 29, 1962” and ”Property of / Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation” imprinted with the studio logo. Script measures 8.5” x 11” with some minor creasing, else very good. Housed in a custom-made red cloth box with a matching red leather slipcase. With Christie’s provenance. The most successful Marilyn Monroe script auction. Sold for $25,428
Joan Crawford’s hero dress from her magnum opus, “Mildred Pierce”. Joan Crawford currently ranks in the American Film Institute’s top ten actresses in the history of cinema. Polka-dot dress is worn by Crawford in the film’s promotional posters, in a still captured from the scene in the beginning of the film when she goes on a date, set at the Malibu beach house of her scheming beau Monte Beragon. Rayon dress, originally white, has since been dyed to a flesh tone color, with polka dots in a darker nude shade. Design features a slightly A-line cut shirt, long sleeves, pleated bodice and square neckline flanked by a simple bow on either side. A Warner Bros. Pictures label is sewn into the placket and has a hand note, “B – 2nd Dress / 18905-638”. Written inside the top in black felt tip is the note, “TBS / 209”. Dress fastens up the back and at the waistline with alternating snaps and hook-and-eye closures, also found at the cuffs. Discreet side zipper is placed over the hip. Likely altered for use in a later Warner Brothers film, dress measures 17.75″ from underarm to underarm, with 21″ sleeve and a petite 11″ across the waist. Original self-belt is absent; dress is accompanied by later grosgrain belt in brown with a cream stripe through the center. Scattered pinholes and stray threads, else near fine. A stunning piece worn by Crawford in her triumphant comeback role, where she delivered what is considered one of the Best Actress performances of all time. Provenance from Warner Brothers. Sold for $24,500.
