Original Typed Letter Signed by silent film actor / comedian Ben Turpin to celebrity columnist and radio personality Walter Winchell. One page, dated March 31, 1935. From the text: ÒDear Walter, Just a note to advise you that the story of my life is about to be completed. It is to be entitled ÔMy Cock-eyed PastÕ, by Ben Turpin, as told to Willis Gordon Brown. It is to be submitted for magazine publication first, and then with elaborations to be published in book form. At 66, I look back upon a stage career in the Ôgay ninetiesÕ and a movie career starting with ÔBroncho BillyÕ Anderson in 1908, both I believe, containing interesting anecdotes and quite a bit of humor. Any ÔplugsÕ tossed this way will be deeply appreciated by an old-timer. Sincerely, Ben TurpinÓ. With creases from folding and a bit of age-toning, else fine. Ben Turpin (1869 - 1940) was a great slapstick film and stage comedian with a cross-eyed expression, best known for his work with Mack Sennett. Walter Winchell (1897 - 1972) was a famous syndicated newspaper gossip columnist and radio news commentator. He is remembered for his catch phrase ÒGood evening, Mr. and Mrs. America from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let's go to press.".
