Came across correspondence between Bill & Charles regarding their film The 7th Dawn from 1964. http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=23362 It’s amazing to see the communication between leading actor and producer in the early 60’s of Hollywood. Details on script, wardrobe, and casting…decision power, opinions, so much history here in the...

Release Date: 1965

I was surprised how colorful and comedic this film was compared to his films like A Streetcar Named Desire (1952) and such but I can see where he’s coming from The Seven Year Itch ...

Marlon Brando in “A Street Car Named Desire”, 1951
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlon_Brando
This week I had a task! It was to find correspondences about Marlon Brando in the Charles K. Feldman collection. Sounds easy but it was not! I looked and looked through sooo many papers and where there should have been things there were not! Lots of missing files and papers and folders....

WEEK 6
Darryl F. Zanuck (1902–1979)
This week I ran across a film title in the papers that I had just watched that week! It was called The Razor’s Edge http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038873/ from 1946. I picked this out from the AFI Library because it matched the time period of the Feldman papers I was working with and the name Zanuck was seen in the papers before and this was the producer...

This week I will watch Macbeth from 1948 that Charles K. Feldman produced for Orson Wells via Republic Picture.

Here is the detailed record on this version of Macbeth in the AFI Catalog: http://www.afi.com/members/catalog/DetailView.aspx?s=&Movie=25626

Wow this week was definitely a highlight.
I discovered a very hidden treasure!
Ronald Reagan’s signature! It was from 1947 when he was president of the Screen Actors Guild. There was a document for the SAG-Producer agreement and here are some pictures I took of my discovery.
I was so excited I wanted to show everyone what I had found. Imagine our president of the United States in...

Found this typed letter from 1951 with the SAME day & month as the one I was born on in 1982! Little things like these make working in the archives way cool (Ok I get excited easily). I was able to take pictures this week in the Archives with the permission of my great Librarian mentor at the AFI Conservatory Louis B. Mayer Library. So here are some cool pictures for you! (Took some around...

Charles K. Feldman (1904–1968)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_K._Feldman
Oh cool I just wiki’d him and saw that “On his passing in 1968, Charles K. Feldman was interred in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.” I’ll have to check that out since I go there a lot for those film screenings they do in the summer.
At the internship this week I’ve been learning more...

WEEK 1
My first week interning at the AFI Conservatory Mayer Library was exciting! A whole new world of information for me. I was introduced to the special collections of Charles K. Feldman whom I will be processing the papers for. These date back to the late 1930’s and have some really awesome treasures hidden between the folders in boxes and boxes of which I will be inventorying for accuracy...
