Certified Robert Reed Hand-Signed 1988 Actors' Equity Contract

We are proud to present an exceptional, museum-grade piece of entertainment history and classic television lore: an original, fully executed multi-page Actors' Equity Association Exclusive Management Contract dated September 12, 1988. This historic legal instrument is personally hand-signed by the iconic American actor and timeless television patriarch, Robert Reed.

Best known as Mike Brady—one of the most universally recognized father figures in television history—Reed remains a beloved pop culture icon. Official trade guild representation covenants handled and signed by Reed are highly scarce, offering classic television memorabilia collectors and theater archives the highest tier of historical verification.

Archive Highlights

• Authentic Robert Reed Signature: The second page of the contract features a beautiful, clean cursive signature "Robert Reed" hand-executed in dark ink across the primary "ACTOR" line of the execution panel. The document is concurrently countersigned by prominent industry executive John Gaines on behalf of the agency.
