This small collection contains the papers of American casting director Phil Friedman (died 1974). The collection includes books, casting directories, photographs (including ones autographed by celebrities such as Tom Mix, Joan Bennett, and Akim Tamiroff), studio publicity shots, correspondence, pamphlets, clippings, and miscellaneous articles. There is a list of casting suggestions with approximate salaries for the film "Sudden Fear" and a typescript manuscript "Find Us A Star!" (11 pp.) Much of the material reflects Friedman's work as a casting director from the mid 1920s through the 1940s.
