Los Angeles: Dan Moss Productions, Inc. Original shooting script for an unproduced film titled Hang-Ups written by Leslie Bricusse. Bradbound, 126 pages, dated September 1, 1982.

From Hollywood film executive Jack Valenti's library with a Certificate of Authenticity. Leslie Bricusse won 2 Oscars for his musical score work on Doctor Doolittle (1969) and Victor Victoria (1982) and was nominated for 7 more. He is also known for his television work in such popular series as The Simpsons, The Voice, and Britain's Got Talent. In 1963, Valenti was in the John F. Kennedy motorcade in Dallas, and he is seen in the famous photograph of Lyndon Johnson being sworn in as President on Air Force One.

Valenti flew back to Washington with Johnson and literally lived in the White House for two months helping Johnson take the reins of the presidency. He was the first special assistant to President Johnson and served at Johnson's direction as a liaison to the Republican Congressional leadership. Hollywood mogul and Democratic fundraiser Lew Wasserman pressured Lyndon Johnson to let Valenti leave in 1966 to run the MPAA. A striking and articulate man who easily made friends, Valenti became a figure of considerable influence in both Hollywood and Washington. Few people have known as many famous and powerful people as Valenti.
