Quirkily brilliant entertainer (1919–1962) whose freewheeling sense of humor and sense of visual style made him one of the most distinctive personalities in the early days of television. He died in a 1962 auto crash while driving the notoriously “unsafe at any speed” Chevrolet Corvair. Vintage in-person fountain pen signature and inscription, “To Ken, Best, Ernie Kovacs,” on an off-white 5 x 3 card. In very fine condition, with a small clipped photo affixed to lower right. R&R COA.
