A Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 5 3/4" x 8 1/4" [15 x 21 cm]; 195 pages) (Learn More) George Jessel was a Jewish actor/singer from the 1910s to the 1980s. He appeared in the stage production of "The Jazz Singer", but was passed over for the movie, because Al Jolson was better known. He appeared in many other movies including: Wait Till the Sun Shines, Nellie, Beau James, and Stage Door Canteen. His nickname was "Toastmaster General of the United States". He passed away in 1981 at the age of 83. Important Added Info: Note that this item has been personally autographed (signed) by George Jessel! Note that this is the first edition from 1956 in its original dust jacket. We have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and he also had correspondence with many famous celebrities which he saved. In addition, he would sometimes ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles or from other reputable Hollywood book stores and poster shops (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from reputable Hollywood book stores, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good. The dust jacket is in a protective plastic sleeve and there is some minor wear around the edges of the dust jacket, but the book is overall in pretty good condition.
