Description

Sending thanks to controversial Hollywood executive, Eddie Mannix

ALS signed “Bill,” one page, 5.75 x 4, personal letterhead, August 5, 1952. Letter of thanks to Eddie Mannix. In full: “Many thanks for your cordial birthday greetings. May I express the hope that your birthdays come very slowly and very happily always.” In fine condition. Mannix was the vice president of MGM, and was rumored to be complicit in cover-ups involving the deaths of Three Stooges founder Ted Healy and Superman actor George Reeves, with whom his second wife Toni Mannix had a long open affair. He was, however, much beloved in the film community. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
