Auction History Result 1r0095 DINO DE LAURENTIIS signed letter '64 it's all in Italian so we don't know what it says! Date Sold 8/6/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Autographed Italian Letter (measures 8 1/2" x 11"; 3 pages) (Learn More) Dino De Laurentiis was a legendary Italian film producer from the 1940s to 2010. Some of his films include: La Strada (winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award for this film), Attila, War and Peace, Barabbas, Barbarella, and Conan the Barbarian. He passed away in 2010 at the age of 91. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Dino De Laurentiis! The letter is entirely in Italian, so we don't know what it says. 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. The letter is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
