Bruce Lee kicked and punched his way into the American spotlight with his role as Kato in the 1966-1967 TV series "The Green Hornet". No one had ever seen anything like him before. Fast, deadly and diminutive, he was a visual promise of human potential. Yet, despite his formidable talents, he was largely snubbed by Hollywood. Financiers would put him in their shows and import his overseas film projects, but they would never invite him to their private parties. He stood alone in Hollywood society, separated by the prejudice of the age. But the martial arts arena embraced him as both Master and invincible opponent, and he chose this avenue to develop a very small area of American interest into an industry. He was the champion of champions, and before he died from a brain edema in 1973, Lee brought the excitement and mystery of disciplined oriental combat techniques to an unsuspecting world audience. The collective admiration for his skills has paved the way for a whole new breed of action stars to come. But the undying affection for "the Master" assures that we will never recognize another as his equal. We are pleased to offer here a 2.75" x 4" cut page signed by Bruce Lee in exceptional black fountain pen, "Best Wishes, Bruce Lee" - perhaps the most beautiful signature from the legend that we have ever seen! In very good condition. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
