This is nifty
For sale on eBay, a large original one sheet post of Fay Lanphier made to promote the 1926 film, The American Venus. That film, of course, was the first in which Louise Brooks had a creditted role. Kinda cool, don't you think?
Woulda been niftier with Louise! ;-)

ReplyDeleteWow. I would love to see a comparison of these measurements with "stars" of today.
