Also included are several other items that were not signed (see below). (Learn More) Mel Ferrer was an actor and director from the 1940s to the 1990s. He is perhaps best remembered for his marriage to Audrey Hepburn. Some of his movies include: Green Mansions, War and Peace, and Lili. He passed away in 2008 at the age of 90. Important Added Info: Note that these all of these four letters have been personally autographed (signed) by Mel Ferrer! They all have interesting content, and they come with several telegrams, cables, and handwritten notes, as well as copies of some letters and also a treatment of El Greco (13 pages) by Mel Ferrer and Rodrigo Rivero dated 4/22/63. We have photographed the fronts only of the non-signed items, and we have photographed all of the pages of the four letters (see our images). Note that these items come 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. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
