(Learn More) John Saxon was an actor from the 1950s to the 2020s. He was a youthful handsome male star of the 1950s, but when his career did not take off, he started doing lots of television, including TV's "The Bold Ones". Probably his most memorable movie role was as Roper in "Enter the Dragon"! Some of his other movies include: A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Battle Beyond the Stars. He passed away in 2020 at the age of 84. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by John Saxon! It is a letter written on his stationery, which comes with an envelope that has his name and address printed on the reverse (in the letter, Saxon is angry with Kohner, specifically in reference to the deal Saxon "allowed" Kohner to make with Preminger, on making The Cardinal in 1963). 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. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction.
