RAY BRADBURY **RARE** HAND-WRITTEN LETTER; AUTOGRAPHED BOOK; PHOTO W/STAR TREK CREATOR GENE RODDENBERRYThis hand-written PERSONALIZED letter from Ray Bradbury was sent to me by Ray himself, back in 1972! I was the Celebrity Coordinator for a new fan convention called "Filmcon, " which featured various science fiction writers, producers and directors. Ray was there to introduce two of his films: Moby Dick (1956, co-written with director John Huston), and It Came from Outer Space (...1953, story writer).
This very RARE letter is on Ray's personal stationery from another film based on his writing: The Illustrated Man (1969). The beautiful stationery itself is also a wonderful collector's item!
In the letter, Ray writes: Dear Sue -- Will be there for "Moby Dick" & "Outer Space" Sat. Nov. 25th - but will be in San Francisco the next day - Sunday! Best - Ray B." He also crossed off the Warner Bros address at the bottom, since he was no longer at that studio, the film having been produced three years prior.
Included with this package is another item from my autographed book collection: a beloved and well-worn, signed copy of Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. This is an 8th printing, from 1964, which I was able to get Ray to sign in person. (Note: my old address inside the front cover no longer exists.)
Finally, I am including a photo print of Ray with Gene Roddenberry, at a recording session for Gene's spoken word album, Inside Star Trek (1976). I took this photo during the session. (Unfortunately, Ray's portion was cut from the final album. Photo is unsigned.).
