Item description

Vintage original 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph of the theatrical and motion picture actress SALLY STARR c. late 1920's. She is depicted in a wedding dress with white shoes as she poses in front of a dark drapery. It is in fine- condition with a crease on the top left corner and a 2.25 in. horizontal crease in the top left corner of the background area that has torn on the border; and several small surface creases from handling over time. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws. Sally Starr (born Sarah Kathryn Sturm, January 23, 1909 – May 5, 1996) was an American theatrical and film actress known for her work during the 1920's and 1930's. A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she was discovered while visiting the set of the Ted Lewis show as a teenager and first attracted attention as a chorus girl in George White's Scandals (she announced scenes and said "thank you"). Gus Edwards caught her singing and dancing in a Los Angeles revue and introduced Starr to director Sam Wood, who cast her opposite Robert Montgomery in the early talkie, So This Is College (1929). She was promoted by MGM as a peppy girl who apparently caught the bus to and from the studio every day. Her dark brown hair and eyes, and five feet and 104 pounds stature led to her being dubbed by Photoplay as "a vest pocket edition of Clara Bow". While in Hollywood, she became better known as "Sally Starr" and performed leading roles in So This Is College (1929), The Woman Racket (1930), Not So Dumb (1930), Personality (1930), Pardon My Gun (1930) and For the Love o' Lil (1930). Starr was signed among the cast of Swing High (1930), a production of Pathe Pictures. Starr also continued her theatrical work after her motion picture career began, performing with Eleanor Powell and George Hassell in The Optimists, staged at the Century Roof Theater in January 1928. The same year, she was cast with Elliott Nugent, Robert Montgomery, and Phyllis Crane in So This Is College. Her final films are Meet the Bride (1937), Getting An Eyeful (1938), Love and Onions (1938), and Money on Your Life (1938). In 1958, Starr returned to the stage, performing in Bemardine at the Pittsburgh Playhouse in June of that year.
