Alan Alda

Alan Alda was one of the most beloved actors on MASH and will long be remembered for his Hawkeye Pierce character on the mini series which ran in the 70's and 80's. His charm, wit, intelligence, good looks and unique personality are not by accident. He won 5 emmy's and 6 golden globes. He is a an educated man with a BS in English and wrote 19 episodes of MASH. He is one of the few lucky ones to have a 50+ year marriage, children, grandchildren and a stable family life. However, like many who aspire to acting as an escape or a creative, artistic outlet, he did not always have an easy early childhood. He contracted polio at 7 from which he recovered and his mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He is known to be involved in charity work and has excelled as an actor, director, screen writer. He honed his skills while serving as a gunnery officer in the U.S. Army and is an activist for women's causes. He says, "I am most at home on the stage." Lucky for us! A genuinely nice guy.

His handwriting is traditional with no flourishes, exaggerations or artificial lettering. It is simple, direct, to the point and genuine. The right slant of extroversion is carefully written with legible letters forms: a sign he wants to be understood and appreciated. While he says, "I am an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine" he was able to put those emotions into his character on MASH. He is one decent, creative, honest guy!
