[Rarebooks] FS: Jimmy Carter INSCRIBED Photograph to Famed Hollywood Restaurant Owner

[Charles Agvent]

CARTER, Jimmy. SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH Inscribed to Maude Chasen of restaurant 
fame. . Fine 8" x 10" black-and-white photograph of Carter smiling 
admirably at famed Hollywood restaurant owner Maude Chasen. INSCRIBED 
and SIGNED as President in the upper right margin: "To my Georgia/friend 
Maude/Chasen/Jimmy Carter/9-23-77." Matted and framed. Fine.

Maude Chasen died at the age of 97 in 2001. Her husband, Dave Chasen, 
opened Chasen's Southern Pit Barbecue on Dec. 13, 1936. Frank Capra lent 
Chasen his silverware for the restaurant's opening. It was a favorite 
spot for many stars including Clark Gable, Jimmy Cagney, Marilyn Monroe, 
and scores of others. Presidents John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, Dwight 
D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, and Ronald Reagan, who proposed to 
future wife Nancy there, frequented the restaurant which was the site of 
the Academy Awards party for many years and which closed in 1995. The 
restaurant's popularity was such that it made it into the lyrics of 
Steve Allen's 1956 song "This Could Be the Start of Something Big." This 
photograph was one of many signed celebrity photos that graced the 
restaurant's walls and that were auctioned off in the late 1990s.
