Item Description
These are materials produced for use in and promoting the seven hour mini-series based on the Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. biography of Robert F. Kennedy. The series aired Jan. 27, 29, 30, 1985 with Brad Davis starring as RFK. All items are from the Marshall Levin Collection. Four buttons on paper sheet carry Levin's notation "For Use In TV Special 1984" as these were produced in advance as props used during filming, but air date ended up as Jan. 1985. Three buttons are 3.5" and one is 1.75". The 5th button, 2-1/8" is a promo for the show attached (removable) to a two-sided, three panel stiff paper brochure which opens vertically to 8.5x33". Also included is 8.5x11" simulated campaign flier with Davis as RFK on one side but RFK photo from 1968 on opposite side. There are also three 4-page promo brochures 8.5x11", one in color as a "Viewer's Guide", one brief RFK bio by Schlesinger, on detailing the people and issues featured in the program plus a 7" cardboard promo book mark. Last is 18.5x22.5 prop poster reading "Kennedy" and showing Brad Davis. Tiny .25" chip off top edge and 3.5" vertical crease on "d" of "Kennedy" with about .5" showing a white line. Pair of .25" tears on right edge. Overall still extremely bright and fresh. A most uncommon group of RFK related items with the poster and four prop buttons particularly rare. Comes with Hake's COA.
