Auction History Result 5t005 EDGAR BERGEN signed 9x11 letter May 11, 1948 hiring a photographer/manager for Sweden trip! Date Sold 3/10/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Letter (measures 8 1/2" x 11"; 2 pages) (Learn More) Edgar Bergen was an actor and ventriloquist from the 1930s to the 1970s. He is best remembered as the creator of ventriloquist dummy, Charlie McCarthy. Bergen and Charlie were so popular that they appeared regularly on the radio, which does not sound like a possible venue for the duo, but the joy of listening to them was in their personalities much more so than Bergen's skill as a ventriloquist, and in many of their appearances, Charlie McCarthy is treated as a real mischievous human boy, and not a ventriloquist's dummy. Edgar Bergen and Charlie appear most famously in You Can't Cheat an Honest Man, Charlie McCarthy Detective, and Pure Feud. He passed away in 1978 at the age of 75. Important Added Info: Note that this letter has been personally autographed (signed) by Edgar Bergen on the second page, and that he initialed the bottom of the first page. Note that this item was consigned to us by a man who was a major movie memorabilia dealer from the 1980s on. During that time, he would regularly purchase collections of movie memorabilia from both dealers and collectors, and in some of those collections he purchased autographed items, and over the years he did not re-sell any of the autographed items. Now he has gathered up together all of his autographed items and consigned them to us. So all of the items from this consignor we are auctioning were purchased by this dealer from longtime dealers and collectors, and we feel it is quite likely that the autograph on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
