Vintage original 8 x 10 in. US single-weight glossy photograph from the 1980s television comedy-spoof mini-series, FRESNO, broadcast on November 16, 1986 on CBS. In Fresno, California, the once-wealthy Kensington family's raisin-growing empire has fallen on hard times. They are led by widowed matriarch Charlotte, who is locked in a deadly power struggle with rival raisin magnate Tyler Cane.
The image depicts wealthy widowed raisin queen, Charlotte Kensington (Carol Burnett), out to impress the town's society at the Raisin Festival Ball, while a man dressed as a giant raisin stands behind her. Affixed to the bottom of the verso which folds over to the recto is the original paper snipe (the glue has dried and it loose but intact). It is in very fine condition as shown.
