COOKSON, Peter (1913-90) - Signature / Unsigned Photograph.

Title: Signature / Unsigned Photograph.
Description: 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). 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. .
