Typed Letter Signed from Silent Film Star Jackie Coogan, 1 page, quarto
signed
December 25, 1925 · Los Angeles
by COOGAN, JACKIE
Los Angeles, December 25, 1925. Written on Jackie Coogan’s wonderful elaborate gold-embossed personal stationery and signed in full in his childish hand as he was then eleven years old. Written to Hollywood columnist Jimmy Starr: “For Mr. Starr from a little boy who thanks him for the many nice things he has said in his paper. Merry Christmas, Jackie Coogan.” Rare in a vintage signature. Coogan was discovered by Charlie Chaplin and starred him in The Kid. Coogan went on to be a huge success as a child star in silent films. He had a later career in feature films and is well-remembered as Uncle Fester in the Addams Family television signature. Fine. (Inventory #: 10855J)
