An Autographed Promissory Note (measures 8 1/2" x 11") (Learn More) Audie Murphy was an actor from the 1940s to the 1960s. He was the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II. After Murphy played himself in "To Hell and Back" he went on to a long career in movies, marred by his personal difficulties (at least partially a result of his war experiences, though it is noted that he had mood swings even as a child). Some of his movies include: Texas, Brooklyn and Heaven, The Kid from Texas, The Red Badge of Courage, Night Passage, and Apache Rifles. He passed away in 1971 at the age of 46 when the private plane he was a passenger in crashed. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Audie Murphy! Note that this item comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who had a remarkable life! Kohner was born in Czechoslovakia in 1902, and he was a journalist working at his father's newspaper. He came to Hollywood after interviewing Carl Laemmle, who gave him a job as a publicity man. He became the head of Universal's European department in Berlin, and returned to the U.S. in the early 1930s, and left Universal in 1938, becoming a publicity agent. Among his clients were some of the greatest film stars ever, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, and also great directors such as John Huston and Billy Wilder. He had close personal friendships with many of his clients, and he saved every bit of correspondence and paper work from his agency! He was married to actress Lupita Tovar from 1932 until his death in 1988. Amazingly, after his death, few institutions showed interest in his immense files, and only a small amount ended up being saved, with a lot literally thrown away! Our consignor purchased the item offered here from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned several items from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each item is being auctioned separately. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
