Title:

Papers of the late stage, screen, and television actor, including correspondence, scripts, and microfilmed clippings and scrapbooks.

Similar files exist for his appearances on radio and television and in Broadway productions such as "Gideon" (1961) and "Long Day's Journey Into Night" (1956).
