ED ASNER
Letter from the actor saying that he just finished working on the film Daniel, which he calls a "nice, non-political movie about the Rosenberg trial".
Typed letter signed: "Ed", in blue felt tip, 8½x11. December 20, 1982. Hollywood, California. In part: "Dear John, Sorry to be so long in answering your nice letter. You know I've been in New York working on that nice, non-political movie about the Rosenberg trial. Now I'm back in town and working on other things. I'm glad Steve Allen was a mensch and gave you the try-out, etc. I'm between projects now, can relax a bit over the holidays. I finished "Daniel" and will be doing a play locally in May".
