DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, JR
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. signs a document with the William Morris
Agency.
Document signed: "Douglas Fairbanks Jr", 7p, 8½x11. Signed on
p7; also initialed "DF" on p1. Beverly Hills, California, 1964 April
30. Fairbanks retains the William Morris Agency as his agent for "television
motion pictures" only, for one year, beginning on April 30. An initialed
amendment on p1 extends this representation to TV commercials. Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr. (1909-2000), the son of the dashing actor of the 1920s and
Anna Beth Sully, the daughter of an industrialist, was raised by his mother
after his parents' divorce in 1918. At the age of 13, he starred in Lasky's
Stephen Steps Out, an unsuccessful attempt to exploit the Fairbanks name.
Although the younger Fairbanks, a movie producer as well as an actor,
appeared in some 75 films, his father took little interest in his son's
career, and the two did not become close friends until the early 1930s. His
feature films included Stella Dallas (1926), Little Caesar (1930),
The Prisoner of Zenda (1937), Gunga Din (1939) and Sinbad the
Sailor (1947), and Fairbanks also appeared in a number of made-for-TV movies
and hosted the anthology series, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Presents
(1952-1955). In the 1930s, he was married to actress Joan Crawford.
Staple and binder holes at top edge. Ink notation (unknown hand) at upper
right corner of p1. Diagonal fold in upper left corner of all pages. Otherwise,
fine condition.
