Cat. #00117622: TED DE CORSIA

Highly rare vintage inscribed turquoise fountain pen signature on a 3x5-inch off-white card, acquired in-person by inveterate collector Lee Gold in 1963 and decorated with a small Players Directory image. In good condition, with two minor stains to the bottom area, well away from the writing. Hefty, brash, menacing villain actor Ted De Corsia was unforgettable in a long string of gangster and western films, shocking audiences from the moment he first appeared onscreen, as killer Willie the Harmonica in 1948’s Naked City. His prolific career also included two key roles on classic episodes of T.V.'s "The Twilight Zone" (1959, 1964).
