Description

From the collection of Bogart’s press agent

Six items from the personal collection of Hollywood press agent Jack Diamond, including: a TLS from Harry Truman, expressing happiness about the election of Pat Brown as governor of California; a TLS from Cary Grant, thanking Diamond for a book and mentioning Universal; a gorgeous vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 signed and inscribed portrait of Mary Pickford; vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 signed and inscribed photo of Joe Penner; vintage glossy 10 x 8 signed and inscribed photo of Gracie Allen and George Burns; and a vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 secretarially signed and inscribed photo of Bill Robinson and Shirley Temple.
