MASTERCARD APPLICATION, FEB. 2, 1982

 File — Box: 136, Folder: 15

Scope and Contents

To work in movies I had to obtain a credit card, for hotels, rental cars, food. I applied several times for a Mastercard and was rejected even though I was earning maybe 80Gs a year. I had no debts and no credit rating. Finally, I wrote a 6-page outraged letter to the bank manager who rejected my application. This folder contains: 1.) A January 23, 1982 rejection of my application. 2.) My February 2 insanely outraged 6-page response. They finally gave me the damn card!
