Slight, sad-looking character actor (1935–1978) best known for his screen debut as Fredo, the weak-willed son of Don Corleone, in Francis Ford Coppola's classic The Godfather. His final screen appearance prior to his death from cancer was in another of the most iconic films of the 1970s, Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter. Cazale holds a singular distinction in the annals of Hollywood history: All six films in which he appeared (including an archival appearance in The Godfather, Part III) were nominated for Best Picture. Uncommon in-person violet felt tip signature, “To Emily—Warmest regards, John Cazale,” on an off-white 5 x 3 card. In fine, clean condition. RRAuction COA.
