Description

Quirkily brilliant entertainer (1919–1962) whose freewheeling sense of humor and sense of visual style made him of the most distinctive personalities in the early days of television. He died in a 1962 auto crash while driving the notoriously “unsafe at any speed” Chevrolet Corvair. Scarce vintage glossy 7 x 9 photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Norman, Neither sleet nor frost nor fertilizer on lawns shall stay these etc. etc. etc., Ernie Kovacs.” In fine condition, with corner bends, a few scattered dings, and scattered light brushing and slightly irregular ink adhesion. R&R COA.
