Abstract:

Papers of the award-winning stage, screen, and television actor, including correspondence, scripts, and microfilmed clippings and scrapbooks. Coverage is best for the later years of March's career, with some papers also concerning the career of his actress-wife Florence Eldridge. Scripts, some bearing annotations bearing on character development, comprise the most important section of the collection. There are also numerous photographs and some miscellaneous production materials in the collection. Among the best represented productions are The Desperate Hours (1955), Hombre (1967), The Iceman Cometh (1973), and Gideon (1961). Similar files exist for radio and television performances. Several dramatic readings and speeches are available in recorded form. The correspondence is fragmentary and chiefly comprised of fan mail concerning One Foot in Heaven, Long Day's Journey into Night, and other productions.
