Description

“‘Rebel Without a Cause’ with James Dean is my third and it will be out soon”

ALS signed “Sal,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 7, August 9, 1955. Letter to Rosalind Saffer, who frequently corresponded with Mineo. In part: “Thank you for your very nice letter. I am very glad you liked ‘Six Bridges to Cross’ and ‘Private War of Major Benson.’ ‘Six Bridges to Cross’ was my first picture. ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ with James Dean is my third and it will be out soon. I am leaving for California in a few days to do a picture with Rock Hudson and Liz Taylor, ‘Giant.’…I hope, very sincerely, that you will like ‘Rebel Without a Cause’ too.” In fine condition, with some scattered toning to second page. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Mineo’s hand, as well as a glossy candid snapshot of the actor and his friends, taken by Saffer. Earlier in 1955, Mineo made his big screen debut in Six Bridges to Cross, landing a role in the classic Rebel Without a Cause. Superb content letter connecting two actors who died much to young. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
