An Original Autographed Letter (measures 7" x 7 1/4") (Learn More) Burgess Meredith was born in 1907. He was a stage actor who made many movies in the late 1930s and early 1940s, and his most memorable of these was as George in Of Mice and Men, and as Ernie Pyle in The Story of G.I. Joe. He was caught up in the McCarthy blacklist, and turned to television, where he had four very memorable appearances on "The Twilight Zone", and later appeared as The Penguin on the 1960s "Batman" TV show. More recently, he is best remembered for his role in Rocky (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), as Mickey, Rocky's long suffering trainer. He appeared in a number of other movies in his later years including: Grumpy Old Men, Clash of the Titans, and Day Of The Locust (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). He passed away in 1997 at the age of 89. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Burgess Meredith! Also note that this auction also includes the envelope this letter originally came in! 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 sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would 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 (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 the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
