NATALIE WOOD / GYPSY (1962). Vintage original 6 x 13 ¼ 15 x 33 cm. Black-and-white single weight glossy silver gelatin print still photo, USA. Rosalind Russell, Natalie Wood, Karl Malden, Ann Jillian, Morgan Brittany, dir: Mervyn LeRoy; Warner Brothers. A delightful collage of images of Natalie Wood portraying legendary entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee performing her tasteful striptease. The hit Broadway show was ably brought to the screen in 1962 after its near two-year run. Though the casting of Rosalind Russell as Mama Rose inspires controversy to this day, the performance by Natalie Wood is perfect and one of her best remembered (though Ann-Margret had been first choice for the role). Gypsy Rose Lee was a consultant and even worked with Natalie Wood perfecting the character and routines. An unusual image, which is stamped on the back Warner Bros. It was therefore likely printed only once in 1962 to publicize the film. There is a horizontal crease at an angle across the upper third of the still, but it is not deep and does not detract greatly from the overall look of the piece. It must come back in the same condition as it was sent. AUTHENTICATION: My name is Walter Reuben. I have been collecting movie posters since 1978. I have been a full-time dealer since 1982.
