Description

“Don’t give me that! I saw your picture in the newspaper sitting between Gary Cooper and Maurice Chevalier”

DS, one page, 8 x 10.5, February 25, 1955. Agreement between Cooper and MGM in which he approves the use of his name in the dialogue of a motion picture “tentatively entitled I’ll Cry Tomorrow, suggested by the life of Lillian Roth, mention of Gary Cooper in dialogue substantially as follows: Lillian Roth is trying to tell her boyfriend, David, that she has not been able to see him as often as she would like to because while she is making a picture the studio keeps her busy day and night. David is skeptical, replies: ‘Don’t give me that! I saw your picture in the newspaper sitting between Gary Cooper and Maurice Chevalier.’ Lillian replies: ‘I didn’t even know Cooper. The publicity department arranged it.’” Beautifully signed at the conclusion by Cooper and countersigned by a Loew’s representative. Attractively double-matted and framed with an image of Cooper on horseback to an overall size of 20 x 16.75. In fine to very fine condition, with expected document wear. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
