So much. Nicky Blair (1926-1998), born Nicolas Macario in
Brooklyn, was a supporting actor whose Italian cooking proved so popular with
friends that they urged him to open a restaurant. He did, and his
restaurants, especially the Sunset Boulevard restaurant featured on his
letterhead, proved extremely popular with actors. Milton Berle, George
Burns, Tony Curtis, Sylvester Stallone and Clint Eastwood were frequent patrons,
and many hosted events there. Blair appeared in about 80 movies. He played Elvis
Presley's sidekick in Viva, Las Vegas and had one line in the Rat Pack's
Ocean's 11. In later years he often played a restaurateur or casino host,
as in The Godfather III, and he portrayed a fight promoter in Rocky
V. Normal mailing folds. Lower edge lightly torn. Pencil note (unknown hand)
in top margin. Otherwise, fine condition.
