ED ASNER
Handwritten letter from the Lou Grant actor thanking a friend for a birthday card, and briefly discussing his trip to the "mother country", which he says was too expensive to completely enjoy
Autograph letter signed: "Ed", in blue ink, 8x12½. In Part: "Dear John + Joan, Many thanks for the birthday + holiday greetings. I hope the trip south was good and the reunion enjoyable. We've just returned from the mother country and had a lovely time sucking in all that Anglo culture, Unfortunately, it's expensive as hell and we weren't there long enough for enough culture to soak in". Former President of the Screen Actors Guild (twice) and the winner of seven Emmys, Ed Asner (1929-2021) is best known as the TV news editor on The Mary Tyler Moore Show (1970-1977).
