Brasselle (1923-1981, born John Brasselli in Elyria, Ohio) was probably a
better nightclub singer than he was an actor. Nevertheless, he was a leading
man during the 1950s and managed to land a few plum assignments, including
a starring role in multiple-Oscar winning A Place in the Sun
(1951) and the title role in The Eddie Cantor Story (1953). He
was also an executive at CBS on the strength of his friendship with James T.
Aubrey. This friendship cooled substantially after three series developed by
Brasselle's series were cancelled. The experience left Brasselle so bitter that
he wrote a thinly veiled novel about CBS called The Cannibals. Braselle
had a total of over 40 movies and TV shows to his credit. Ironically, the start
and end of his acting career were similarly inauspicious, beginning with an
uncredited role in the 1942 United States Navy educational film U. S. S. VD:
Ship of Shame and ending with starring and acting duties in the 1974 sex
musical If You Don't Stop It... You'll Go Blind. Written to GEORGE R.
SANDERS, originally a disc jockey, became a prominent radio/TV interview
host, first in Los Angeles and later in Portland. Lightly toned. Neatly torn
from album or notebook at left edge. Otherwise in fine
condition.
