A Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/2" [17 x 24 cm]; 235 pages) (Learn More) Robert James "Bob" Keeshan was an actor and producer from the 1940s to 1999. He is best remembered as the title character of the children's television program Captain Kangaroo, which became an icon for millions of people during its 30-year running on CBS from 1955 to 1984 (and then it was on PBS for six more years). He also played the original "Clarabell the Clown" on the Howdy Doody television program. He passed away in 2004 at the age of 76. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Bob Keeshan (he wrote "Captain Kangaroo" under his name)! Note that this is the first edition from 1989 in its original dust jacket. We have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that the book comes with a "certificate of authenticity" from Christophe Stickel. Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. The dust jacket is in a protective plastic sleeve and there is some minor scuffing on that sleeve. Otherwise, the book is in nice condition!
