Forrest & Michael Gornick , Christine

Signed Check - Christine Forrest of course became Christine Forrest Romero in 1981 when she married director George Romero, but back in 1978 she was an actress and production assistant that just got off a leading role in Romero’s Martin (1977). Here we have an original 3x8 Laurel Tape & Film, Inc. (the production company behind Romero’s films at the time) company check #1010, dated October 6, 1978 and made out to “Chris Forrest” for $120 (petty cash). It’s more than likely a check that was drawn during the time they were making Dawn of the Dead, but it’s endorsed by Michael Gornick (director of photography on Martin and Dawn of the Dead) and Vince Survinski (the Laurel book keeper and Night of the Living Dead “Possie” member) and made out to Chris, so we have it displayed with a Martin promo lobby card. It’s endorsed twice on the back from Christine Forrest, so signed by three different people four times. We have it nicely displayed in a clear archival 11x14 sleeve so you can simply turn it over to see all the autographs on the check.
