Cat. #0016730212: MURRAY MATHESON

Scarce vintage inscribed black fountain pen signature on a 4x6-inch off-white card, acquired in-person by an inveterate collector in the 1960s and decorated with a small magazine image. In very good condition and mattable with effort. Murray Matheson, esteemed Australian-born character actor of the stage and screen, played aristocrats, physicians, professors, military men, and other authority figures in films like Hurricane Smith (1952), Jamaica Run (1953), Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955), and How to Succeed in Business Without Even Trying (1966). He is remembered by fans of the horror, sci-fi and fantasy genres for his portrayal of the pensive clown on the classic episode of T.V.'s "The Twilight Zone" entitled "Five Characters In Search of an Exit" in 1961 and as Mr. Agee in the "Kick the Can" sequence of Twilight Zone: The Movie in 1983.
