"The father of the gourmet chocolate chip cookie" is pictured here in his
trademark Hawaiian shirt and Panama hat. After leaving the William Morris
Talent Agency to move to Hollywood and represent his own clients, Wally Amos
began leaving his homemade chocolate chip cookies as calling cards and thank you
gifts. Demand for his cookies was so great, that Hollywood stars and
Motown artists loaned him money to start the Famous Amos Cookie Company
on Sunset Boulevard in 1975. By 1985, revenues from sales of his cookies
reached more than $10 million annually, but in 1989 reversals in finances
resulted in Amos relinquishing ownership and the rights to his name. In 1999,
after the Keebler Cookie Company bought Famous Amos, he signed on as the firm's
Director of Cookie Fun, once again promoting the cookies that bear his name.
Creased in upper right and lower left blank corners. Fine
