Description

Twice-signed 1981 registration card for the Chateau Marmont hotel, less than a year before it became the site of John Belushi’s tragic death

Partly-printed DS, signed twice as "John Belushi" and “John A. Belushi,” one page, 6 x 4, March 31. Yellow registration card for the Chateau Marmont hotel on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, with the upper portion filled out in black ballpoint by Belushi, who writes his name, “John Belushi,” address, “150 5th Ave., NYC, NY, 1001,” firm, “Universal,” and then adds his approval signature. A clerk’s hand notes that Belushi has rented Room 34 for a total of five nights from March 31st until April 5th, at a rate of $100 per night. The card bears a vertical date stamp of March 31, 1981, at 11:16 PM. In fine condition. Less than a year later, John Belushi, at the age of 33, was found dead of a drug overdose in Bungalow 3 at the Chateau Marmont hotel on March 5, 1982. A poignant offering connected to the life and death of the tragic comedian.
