1987 opening day premiere "Who's That Girl" film L.A. advertisement...
LOS ANGELES TIMES, Aug. 9, 1987 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section) This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the premiere of "WHO'S THAT GIRL" Starring Madonna on one of the pages. (see images).
In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.
Own a rare slice of cinema history straight from the home of the entertainment industry.
Background: While the Who's That Girl movie was a critical and commercial box office flop, its primary notable content is its double-platinum soundtrack album, which sold over six million copies globally and produced two iconic Billboard hits for Madonna: the #1 title track "Who's That Girl" and the #2 hit "Causing a Commotion". Culturally, the film is memorable for cementing Madonna's peak late-1980s screwball aesthetic and launching her massive 1987 Who's That Girl World Tour, her first global stadium run. In terms of physical rarity today, common media formats like the standard DVD, cassette, and original standard vinyl pressings are relatively abundant and inexpensive due to mass production. However, specific collectors' pressings—most notably the original 1987 Japanese 32XD CD edition, the Greek test-pressing vinyl, rare promotional LaserDiscs, and pristine sealed first-edition vinyl LPs—fetch high values among pop memorabilia collectors and Madonna completists.
