Of his handful of film roles, his most notable was in Angel in My Pocket (1968) alongside another TV comedy star, Andy Griffith. Lightly creased with folds, not at signature. Staple holes and 2 file holes at upper margin, which has pencil note (unknown hand) at upper right corner. ¾x½-inch paper loss at upper left blank margin, slightly soiled at upper right margin.
