Inscribed photograph signed: "To Linda,/All the Best!/Jerry/Stiller" and "Anne Meara". B/w, 8x10. Actress, comedienne, playwright and screenwriter ANNE MEARA (1929-2015), the wife and comedic partner of Jerry Stiller, has appeared in a number of television variety series, in films and on stage both with her husband and as a solo performer. Stiller & Meara rocketed to stardom on 1960s variety shows, including The Ed Sullivan Show and The Steve Allen Show, their material usually drawn from their different ethnic backgrounds. Meara has appeared in a number of feature films, including Lovers and Other Strangers (1970, with Stiller), The Out-of-Towners (1970), Fame (1980) and Awakenings (1990), starred in the TV series Kate McShane (1975), was a regular on Rhoda (1976-1977), Archie Bunker's Place (1979-1983) and Alf (1987) and was nominated for a Tony Award for her performance in Anna Christie. JERRY STILLER (1927-2020), perhaps best known for his role as Frank Costanza on Seinfeld, has been appearing on the TV series The King of Queens since 1998. He has also appeared on the big screen in films including Airport 1975 and The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (both 1974), Hairspray (1988) and Zoolander (2001, which starred his son, Ben Stiller). Stiller and Meara, who met while auditioning for an opera in 1954 and married the following year, are the parents of comic actor Ben Stiller.
