Vintage turquoise ballpoint pen signature on a 4x6-inch tan autograph album page, acquired in-person in the 1950s. In good condition, with tape stain along the bottom edge, well away from the writing. Scholarly-looking character actor David Opatoshu began his career in New York City's Yiddish theater in the 1930s. After transitioning to a film career, he played a mixed bag of courageous, noble types and vile villains in films like The Naked City (1948), The Goldbergs (1950), The Brothers Karamazov (1958), Cimarron (1960), Exodus  (1960), and Torn Curtain (1966), and on television, he was memorable on "The Twilight Zone" (1963) and "Star Trek" (1967).
