Original Staats Cotsworth Signed Fan Letter, Radio, Television, Theatre star

Description: Original Staats Cotsworth Signed Fan Letter, Radio, Television, Theatre star Signed Staats Cotsworth letter dated Jan 3, 1965 on his personal stationery! Paper has watermarks on the stationery, it looks like it says Crames. I am not sure of the first two letters. You can see the watermark in a couple of the pictures in this listing. This letter was a response letter to a "fan" letter. It is a very unique piece of entertainment history from a highly credited entertainer. In the letter Staats asks for forgiveness for taking so long to respond and that he is currently playing a English barrister in "The Right Honourable Gentlemen" When I researched Staats, I was amazed at the amount of work he did in the entertainment industry. From being one of the busiest actors during the golden era of radio to his work in television, theatre, and motion pictures. I added some pictures from the internet of Staats Cotsworth to this listing. He was born on February 17, 1908 in Oak Park, Illinois and died in New York City on on April 9, 1979.
