Lobby Card (11" x 14")
Very Fine
RKO-Pathe, 1932

In this 1932 movie-themed drama/romance directed by George Cukor, the career of a Brown Derby waitress takes off after she meets a charming, drunken Hollywood director. This beautiful lobby card features a close-up shot of Constance Bennett, the waitress-turned-star, alongside her husband, a polo player (Neil Hamilton). This unrestored example shows only slightly darkened borders, with a few minor nicks on the top edge, a light vertical crease down the right border, and light wear on the lower left corner, along with one pinhole. The image is beautiful and serene, showcasing rich, lush color tints.

"What Price Hollywood?" is a pre-Code drama directed by George Cukor, starring Constance Bennett and Lowell Sherman and based on a story by Adela Rogers St. Johns and Louis Stevens. The film's original title was "The Truth About Hollywood." St. Johns loosely based her plot on the experiences of actress Colleen Moore and her husband, alcoholic producer John McCormick, and the life and death of director Tom Forman, who committed suicide following a nervous breakdown.
