Great & huge vintage professional stage makeup kit in case belonging to a now-deceased character actor named Duane Campbell. Mr. Campbell was most notably a regular extra on the 70's sitcom, Alice - he played 'Chuck', a regular at Mel's diner. I recognized him as soon as I found his photo online (although to be fair, I am a gen-x'er who watched Alice growing up). Mr. Campbell evidently also did some work on a show called Bret Maverick and Palmerstown, U.S.A. He also did work on the stage, as there is a promotional matchbook froma production called signed by Isabell (Isabel?) Sanford
[On the topic of Mrs. Sanford, who played Weezy on The Jeffersons - I don't know why her name is spelled differently in every single online reference I see, but spelling it both ways in a google search brings up the same person, so maybe she changed it at some point? In any event, this is guaranteed to be an authentic autographed item.]

* Finally, there are 6 business cards for the makeup kit's owner, Duane R. Campbell with his phone number (213 area code). I did some research on Duane, and evidently he was a credited diner regular named Chuck on the sitcom "Alice" with Linda Lavin, and also played Lucas the town drunk on the tv show "Brett Maverick" - there was also a role on a show I've never heard of called "Paradise". I suspect he was in or involved with "Amen Corner", the referenced Broadway production starring Isabel/Isabelle Sanford.
