GENE RAYMOND
Raymond signs his signature to a fan on a piece of paper in blue ink
Autograph note signed: "To Leona Novak -/Best wishes!/Gene Raymond", 5¼x3¾ mounted to 8¼x5¼ cardstock. Raymond (1908-1998) first appeared on stage at age 5, and on Broadway at age 12. Some of his best screen assignments include the anguished death row inmate in If I Had a Million (1932), the renegade groundskeeper in Zoo in Budapest (1933), the guy who won Dolores Del Rio in Flying Down to Rio (1933), the stuffy "other man" in Hitchcock's Mr. and Mrs. Smith (1941) and a glad-handing politico in The Best Man (1964). In 1948, Raymond produced, directed, co-wrote and starred in Million Dollar Weekend. A B-17 bomber pilot over Germany in World War II, he remained in the active reserves until 1968, long enough to fly airlifts in Vietnam, retire as a Colonel and win many decorations, including the Legion of Merit. He was married to actress Jeanette MacDonald from 1937 until her death in 1965. Vertical fold touches writing and "G" in Gene. Mounting remnants on verso show through to writing and signature. Ink note at bottom (unknown hand).
