ALEXANDER KNOX
The actor who appeared in the iconic WWII film The Longest Day signed this typed letter
Typed Letter Signed: "Alexander Knox", 1p, 7¼x10½. No place, Dated February 6, 1945. On his personal letterhead to Mr. Goldbaum. In Full: "Thank you for your pleasant letter written in behalf of the Straus Movie and Radio Appreciation Club, and I am glad that you and so many of the Junior High School students enjoyed 'None Shall Escape' and 'Wilson' so much. I believe that 'Wilson' might be useful in arousing the interest of young people in the life of Woodrow Wilson and a most important period in American history. I'm sorry for the delay in sending you the photograph that you wanted for your 'Gallery of Stars,' but I was waiting to have some large ones made until I had some new and better pictures taken. Now I can promise that a photograph will be sent to you within the next week. Yours Sincerely." Canadian actor Alexander Knox (1907-1995) was best known for his portrayal of American President Woodrow Wilson in Darryl F. Zanuck's 1944 biopic. Knox won the 1944 Best Actor Golden Globe Award for his performance and was nominated for the same Oscar category. Knox made his American debut in 1941 in The Sea Wolf and gave an outstanding performance in This Above All (1942) before making Wilson. Knox appeared in a number of other feature films, including The Longest Day (1962), You Only Live Twice (1967) and Gorky Park (1983), as well as made-for-television films including Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (1979) and Helen Keller: The Miracle Continues (1984).
