- History / Biographical
- Edward Milkis (1931 - 1996) was a film and television producer. Milkis was best known for his work with the original "Star Trek" series (1968 - 1969), and other TV shows such as "The Brady Bunch" (1969 - 1972), "Laverne & Shirley" (1976 - 1983) and "Happy Days" (1974 - 1984). Milkis was also the producer for multiple films, including "Silver Streak" (1976) starring Gene Wilder, Richard Pryor and Jill Clayburgh. Nicholas Morant was involved with "Silver Streak" while he took action shots of the cast and photos of the train segment of the film set, while working for the Canadian Pacific Railway company as their Special Photographer (much of the filming took place aboard a Canadian Pacific train, explaining Morant's involvement). It is likely Milkis and Morant became acquainted while working on the set of "Silver Streak" together.
- Scope & Content
- Framed letter written by Nicholas Morant addressed to TV and Film Producer Edward Milkis following the creation of film "Silver Streak" (1976). Letter is typed, with "BULL SHIT!" stamped multiple times across front. Also includes Nicholas Morant's professional stamp and satirical illustration by Morant of unidentified creature. Signed "Marantz" on bottom (an inside joke which Morant usually applied to gag letters and notes for friends and colleagues). Response letter (signed) from Edward Milkis typed onto paper with "Silver Streak" film logo is attached to back, dated July 30, 1976 .
