OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II TYPED SIGNED LETTER BOB MCGRATH 1959 - $20K APR W/COA
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
This remarkable piece of entertainment memorabilia features a typed and signed letter from the illustrious Oscar Greeley Clendenning Hammerstein II, a luminary figure in American musical theater. Renowned for his contributions as a lyricist, librettist, producer, and director, Hammerstein's influence resonates across generations, with his songs enduring as standard repertoire for vocalists and musicians.
Addressed to Robert Emmett McGrath, esteemed for his portrayal of Bob Johnson on the iconic television series Sesame Street, the letter is dated May 19th, 1959—an auspicious year coinciding with McGrath's attainment of a Master of Music degree in voice from the Manhattan School of Music.
In this missive, Hammerstein extends an invitation to McGrath to join the George Gershwin Foundation Honorary Committee, tasked with awarding Samuel Goldwyn the inaugural accolade. This association with two titans of American entertainment underscores McGrath's standing within the industry and his significance as a member of this esteemed committee.
For collectors of entertainment memorabilia and enthusiasts of American theater and television history, this letter represents a rare and exciting find. Its connection to two iconic figures—Hammerstein and McGrath—along with its historical significance, renders it a prized addition to any collection.
