Movie Trivia Single Panel Comic

Greta Garbo And H.B. Warner

Original Art (c.1930's)

Art by Basil Wolverton

From Heritage Auctions...

The great caricaturist -- better known for his grotesque comical faces of the 1950s -- takes a photorealistic approach to this fine montage of movie-star portraits. Who would have known that "Greta Garbo is extremely fond of corned beef and cabbage," if Wolverton had not revealed that fact? Not to mention that H.B. Warner walked out on an assignment because the script called for him to slap leading lady Esther Ralston (the film cited, The Southerner, was released in 1931 as The Prodigal, with Lawrence Tibbett in the role that Warner had rejected).
