Death of a Salesman 1951 Frederic March Signed as Willy SP by Lippmann, McCarthy SP, Key Book Onset Candid, Lee Cobb NBC Still & an Arthur Miller Candid

Hi All,

Some of my Death of a Salesman collection. The Fredric March SP is signed in character and is an in-between-scenes candid. Mildred Dunnock, who originated the role of Linda Loman in 1949 on Broadway opposite Gene Lockhart. is also shown. The next is Kevin McCarthy (Biff), a signed original still of the big scene. Then a production onset still by Lippmann with a complete listing of everyone in the photo and their job on the back. Next is an NBC 8/26/66 still with color blurb, and then a color candid by Peter Warrack from 1975. In the 1966 version. Bernard was played by a young Gene Wilder.

I saw your name had popped back up in my Friends, and Wanted to welcome you back!

"Death of A Salesman" is one of my all time favorite plays, and your collection is awesome!

Art Carney is Great Uncle to Reeve Carney who is currently playing Orpheus in the play "Hadestown" on Broadway. If you're in New York and get a chance check him out, he's amazing!

I don't know if it shows well, but if you look at the Cobb photo upper right center the boys bedroom is visible through the kitchen wall. This has to do with the "plastic" theater quality, which Tennessee Williams showed in The Glass Menagerie 4 years earlier with screen projections for each scene (later abandoned, unfortunately).
