| This is the Royal KMM I lent to Cade Fall, the prop master for "Wish You Well", a movie which just debuted based on a novel of the same name by David Baldacci. Upon the typewriter being returned I was given a certificate saying the machine was used in the making of the film which is cool enough already... but last night I attended the premier and sure enough, it can be seen in front of the stenographer in the final court scene (barely, but it's there and it's recognizable as a Royal)! I also brought the side panel and a metallic Sharpie in my coat pocket and was lucky enough to run into Mr. Baldacci himself who graciously signed my machine and made it just that much more precious. |
How cool! What a neat experience.
ReplyDeletethis is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a grand experience!
ReplyDeleteIt's not ever day a writer gets asked to sign someone's typewriter. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI've seen people fake a J.D. Salinger signature on a type writer and try to sell it on ebay. This is the first genuine article I've seen ... unless this guy was impersonating the author!:)
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! There's some huge DB fans here at my place that are jealous.
ReplyDeleteTaking the side panel was inspired/genius, Mark! Congrats. Very cool story and mid-life provenance for your machine!! :-)
ReplyDeleteThumbs up! :D
