Lugosi, Bela (1882-1956) Hungarian-born American actor, Lugosi enjoyed his greatest success on Broadway as "Dracula", a role he repeated on film. He made a memorably menacing, aristocratic vampire but soon found himself typecast.
Typed letter signed ("Bela"), 1p, 11 x 7 in., North Hollywood, California, 22 July 1943, on his personal letterhead. To Mr. Milton Yakus in Boston. Lugosi writes: "I have just returned from my four months tour with 'Dracula'. I got in touch with the William Morris Agency here in Hollywood and asked them to inquire … about your stories. As yet, I have not heard from them; but as soon as I get their reply I will let you know… " Accompanied by a 10 x 8 in. full length, black and white photo of Lugosi as Dracula. The letter has overall wrinkling and one edge tear at upper right, otherwise very good. Two quintessential Bela Lugosi items.
