An Original Vintage Television Script (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm], 42 pages) (Learn More) Mickey and the Contessa, the 1963 television (TV) comedy sitcom pilot (about a noble woman from behind the Iron Curtain who escapes to the U.S. and can only find one job as a maid to a family of a High School Gym teacher that has no class or manners) starring Mickey Shaughnessy, Eva Gabor, Ann Marshall, Bill St. John, and John Fiedler NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this script is the shooting pilot script sixth draft from March 9, 1961 (for the episode "Stranger In Town") and the screenplay was written by Cy Howard. It has "Eva Gabor" written at the top, and we think it is likely this was her script, because she was a client of Paul Kohner, and this script came from his estate, and there are pencil marks around her lines within the script. Note that this script 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 many items (including this script offered here) from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned 14 scripts from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each script is being auctioned separately. Condition: very good to fine. The script is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
