A unique piece of movie memorabilia, this is an application by Warren Beatty for more time to file his 1960 tax return, pleading that he will be out of the country. It is boldly signed by Beatty with a fountain pen.

Warren Beatty is the American actor, producer, screenwriter and director who has been nominated for fourteen Academy Awards – four for Best Actor, four for Best Picture, two for Best Director, three for Original Screenplay, and one for Adapted Screenplay – winning Best Director for Reds (1981). Beatty is only the second person to have been nominated for acting, directing, writing and producing in the same film – doing so first with Heaven Can Wait (1978), and again with Reds - succeeding Orson Welles, who was nominated for all four for Citizen Kane in 1941, winning for writing. Awarded the Academy's highest honor, the Irving G. Thalberg Award, in 1999, Beatty has been nominated for eighteen Golden Globe Awards, winning six, including the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award, which he was honored with in 2007. Among his Golden Globe-nominated films are Splendor in the Grass (1961), Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Shampoo (1975), Dick Tracy (1990), Bugsy (1991), and Bulworth (1998). His sister is actress Shirley MacLaine.
