Author of The Godfather. After two previous critically acclaimed but unpopular novels, Puzo produced what has been described as the fastest-selling novel in American history. Puzo shared the Academy Award with Francis Ford Coppola for their screenplays for The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather, Part II (1974). Immaculate glossy 8.5 x 6.5 photo of the writer seated at a restaurant, signed and inscribed in-person in fountain pen, “To Tim, Best Wishes, Mario Puzo.” In fine condition. According to the collector, who had been in press at the time, he met Puzo at the BBC in 1980. When he spotted Puzo and approached him, other collectors who were hanging around for a similar chance descended, to which Puzo replied, “Who am I?” They hadn’t a clue, and the collector got this fantastic image signed.
