Auction History Result 2j0036 MARVIN MIRISCH signed letter '70 he wanted Charles Bronson for Chris in Magnificent Seven II! Date Sold 11/15/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Letter (measures 8 1/2" x 11" [22 x 28 cm]) (Learn More) Marvin Mirisch was a producer from the 1950s to the 1990s. Some of his movies include: Dracula, Arrow in the Dust, Romantic Comedy, and The Human Jungle. He passed away in 2002 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Marvin Mirisch! Note that this letter has great content, because Mirisch wanted Charles Bronson to take over Yul Brynner's role in the sequel to The Magnificent Seven (even though Bronson played a different character who was killed in the first movie!). Also 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. There are a few creases and smudges around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
