Autograph Letter signed: "Mark Richman", 1 page, 8½x11. No place, 1954 February 26. To "Dear Mr. [Daniel] Blum", in full: "A while back I sent you a photograph. If you intend to use a photo of me at a future date I'd appreciate you using this one I am enclosing. [Item not included.] Sincerely yours". Peter Mark Richman (1927-2021) played football in the Eastern Pro Conference (was injured) and became a registered pharmacist prior to becoming interested in acting. Beginning on stage and live television in New York, his first feature film was Friendly Persuasion (1956). Some think he is most recognized for The Murder Men (1961) and Crimebusters (1961) but TV has also been good for him. Guest spots on The Outer Limits, The Wild Wild West, Bonanza, Matlock, Mission Impossible and Combat in addition to his recurring roles on the soap Santa Barbara (1971-1972), Three's Company (1978-1979) and Dynasty (1981-1984) make him a familiar face. In 2002, Richman's one man show 4 Faces earned him the Drama-Logue Award. Theatre World, founded in 1945 by Daniel Blum, is America's oldest annual record of Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theatre, referenced by industry professionals, historians, students and theatre fans worldwide. Until 1998, when a separate nonprofit corporation was established, Theatre World's editorial staff bestowed the prestigious Theatre World Awards for outstanding Broadway and Off-Broadway debuts. Screen World (from 1950) and Dance World (from 1966), administered from the same office, and furnished comprehensive information on those entertainment genres. Light surface creases near top left corner. Fine condition.
