Description

Barbarella (1968) Poster, US, Style B, Signed by Jane Fonda


Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm)


This very cool alternative style B poster has the 1960s written all over it ! This poster was signed by Jane Fonda at BFI, London, where she had a retrospective of her films, and gave a Q & A and introduction to the film 9 to 5.


It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.


This 60s science fiction film was directed by Roger Vadim, and was based on the comic series of the same name by Jean-Claude Forest. Vadim tried to cast various actors in the title role, including Virna Lisi, Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, before casting his then-wife Jane Fonda as the space-traveller Barbarella.
