Item description from seller

Although Raft, like James Cagney, could dance elegantly, no actor was more typecast as a gangster than this star of the 1930s and '40s, whose roles in such films as "Scarface" (1932) was reinforced by his real world mafia connections; in Billy Wilder's "Some Like It Hot" (1959) and Jerry Lewis's "The Ladies Man" (1961) he played a comic caricature of his earlier self. Hasso was the Swedish-born "next Garbo" who appeared in a number of films in the 1940s; in later years she achieved some success as a writer and composer. "To Donald / a swell fellow / My Best / George Raft" in blue ballpoint on an irregular, roughly oval-shaped slip about 4½" X 3", n.p., n.y. [ca. 1960]. Very good. On a heavy linen stock with three small tape stains slightly touching upon a couple letters. "Febr. 3rd 69 / With all good wishes / Signe Hasso" in bold black fineline, heavy stock 5" X 3" card, n.p. Fine. With original envelope. This nice pair is accompanied by an unsigned 10" X 8" black-and-white photograph, a closeup of the pair dancing together in the 1945 film noir classic "Johnny Angel." Very good. …
