Quirkily brilliant entertainer (1919–1962) whose freewheeling sense of humor and sense of visual style made him one of the most distinctive personalities in the early days of television. He died in an auto crash while driving the notoriously ‘unsafe at any speed’ Chevrolet Corvair. ALS, one page, 5 x 8, ‘From the Desk of Caligula, Mu’Awiya, Callicratidas and Pliny, The Middle-Aged…’ letterhead, featuring a printed sketch of eyebrows, a moustache and a cigar, January 8, 1957. Kovacs writes, in full: “Received your note and thank you so much. Looking forward to receiving VISA autographed.” Three horizontal mailing folds, a staple mark, show-through from a stamp on the reverse, and a small pencil notation on the letter, and some trivial soiling and a tiny pencil notation on the signature, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by an ink signature from his wife, Edie Adams. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
