Uncommon vintage signature in blue ballpoint pen on a 3x5-inch off-white card, acquired in-person in New York City the 1970s. In good condition, with a minor crease to the bottom edge, away from the writing, and ideal for matting. Limit-testing director William Friedkin snagged an Oscar for The French Connection in 1971 and was nominated for a second trophy two years later, for the chilling horror classic The Exorcist.
