World War II veteran (1914–2002) who became one of only two non-professional actors to win an Academy Award for acting, winning two for the same role. DS, signed “Harold J. Russell,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, May 27, 1946. Agreement between Samuel Goldwyn Productions and Russell considering proposed personal appearances by Russell in regards to the film The Best Years of Our Lives. In part: “We both are anxious that when this photoplay is exhibited, the portrayal of your role shall have a maximum artistic and dramatic effect. It is felt by both of us that the possibility of such maximum effect may be diminished if, prior to the actual exhibition of the photoplay you should make so-called ‘personal appearances without our prior consent…You agree that without our prior written consent thereto you will not make any personal appearances…before the first release and public exhibition…of the photoplay now entitled ‘The Best Years of Our Lives.’” In fine condition, with two staples to top edge as well as a small area of paper loss.
