Extremely rare signature-- just the second we have encountered in over 35 years-- in black felt-tip marker, adding an inscription, on a 4x6-inch white card, acquired in-person following a performance of one his plays at a Montparnasse, France, theater in January of 1992. In good condition. Note that the image of the star shown here alongside the scan of the autograph is not included. One-of-a-kind Greek actor and theater director Andreas Voutsinas made a small number of forays into English-language films, playing flamboyant, stereotyped gay characters in three Mel Brooks favorites, The Producers (1968), as Roger DuPre's boyfriend and majordomo, Kharmann Ghia; The Twelve Chairs (1970), as Nikolai Sestrin; and History of the World, Part I (1981), as Bearnaise, the bitchy companion of the Count de Monet.
