Charley thinks Kaplan is still around. He's younger than Charley, so he's around mid-60's. He was trying to live in London, though might be in NYC. He did Altman's Nashville worked with John van Hammersveld on a film that had a poster of a bed with some people in it -- title of something like

The last time Charley saw him (LA screening of Hodge's Croupier) he wanted Van Hammersveld Get Carter, which we'll get to him. Doesn't he have his own copies, wasn't he Art Director on that poster? I'll respond about Clockwork Orange later. Long and complicated. Sent from my iPhone On 25

Apparently not, since both he and Hodges asked Charley for one... From what I remember, Charley met Van Hammersveld and hired him to do the Get Carter. He then introduced Van Hammersveld to a lot of people, which is why John gave Charley a lot of posters. We probably have one of the largest

I wonder why Ken didn't just sell some posters and give the investor he owes the $500,000 too back his money.  Now the guy is screwed.  He's not going to have 2 cents to rub together. From: David Kusumoto davidmkusum...@hotmail.com To:

Just saw this discussion. I've heard the same things. I have a few autographed lobby cards which are fun to have and not especially valuable otherwise so if you're not buying them for investment purposes or re-sale then I guess it's moot. Mine have Ray Milland's autographs and I like the cards.
