An Original Vintage Autographed Letter (measures 8 1/2" x 11") (Learn More) Mickey Rooney was a leading child star starting in the 1920s, becoming the top juvenile actor in America in the 1930s, and he continued with a series of movies with Judy Garland in the 1940s. His career spanned every decade, with Rooney working until he passed away in 2014 at the age of 93. Some of his movies include: The Bold & The Brave (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Human Comedy (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Black Stallion (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Breakfast at Tiffany's, Captains Courageous, Babes In Arms (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and National Velvet. He was an American treasure! Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by Mickey Rooney! Note that this item comes from the estate of Paul Kohner, who had a remarkable life! Kohner was born in Czechoslovakia in 1902, and he was a journalist working at his father's newspaper. He came to Hollywood after interviewing Carl Laemmle, who gave him a job as a publicity man. He became the head of Universal's European department in Berlin, and returned to the U.S. in the early 1930s, and left Universal in 1938, becoming a publicity agent. Among his clients were some of the greatest film stars ever, including Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, and also great directors such as John Huston and Billy Wilder. He had close personal friendships with many of his clients, and he saved every bit of correspondence and paper work from his agency! He was married to actress Lupita Tovar from 1932 until his death in 1988. Amazingly, after his death, few institutions showed interest in his immense files, and only a small amount ended up being saved, with a lot literally thrown away! Our consignor purchased the item offered here from Mr. Kohner's estate in 1989, and he has held it until now, when he has consigned several items from Mr. Kohner's estate to eMoviePoster.com, and each item is being auctioned separately. Condition: very good. The letter has creases around the edges and some dot ink stains in the bottom center. Learn More about condition grades
