Exceedingly rare vintage black fine-tip pen signature on a 3x5-inch off-white card, dating to the 1980s. In very good condition and accompanied by a certificate from the third-party authenticator Beckett. Excellent for matting with a favorite photograph. Gifted playwright Michael V. Gazzo, who penned 1955's "A Hatful of Rain," about drug addiction, later dabbed in character acting. He earned an Academy Award for his electrifying performance as Frankie Pentangeli in The Godfather Part II (1974).
