Rare vintage handwritten, signed letter in black fountain pen on a sheet of his personal stationery, measuring about 7x9 inches, sent to an admirer in 1946. In good condition, with gentle mailing folds. Stocky, hotheaded character actor Alan Reed had memorable roles in The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), Viva Zapata! (1952), I, Jury (1953), The Desperate Hours (1955), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), as well as on classic episodes of television programs like "The Addams Family" (1965), "Batman" (1967) and "The Beverly Hillbillies" (1964-1968). He is, however, best remembered for his cartoon voice work, which included the roles of Boris in Disney's The Lady and the Tramp (1955) and, of course, Fred Flintstone on the beloved animated series of 1960-1966.
