Signature / Unsigned Photograph..
This American actor appeared in numerous stage productions (notably Cole Porter's musical "Can Can," 1953) and films of the 1940s and '50s, often with his wife, actress Beatrice Straight (1914-2001). Item #44171
Bold and handsome signature in blue ballpoint on a heavy stock 5" X 3" card, n.p., dated 14 October 1989 in his hand. Fine. With original transmittal envelope -- addressed, surprisingly, in the hand of his wife Beatrice Straight, who also signs her husband's name above the printed Southfield, Massachusetts return address on envelope verso! Accompanied by an outstanding near fine 10" X 8" glossy black-and-white photograph, a still scene from the 1946 crime Drama "Don't Gamble with Strangers" showing Cookson at center and other cast members gathered around a craps table. A great pair.
