The
success Carroll enjoyed from this films' warm reception paved the way for him to do other iconic films such as '

Provenance:
This lot comes from the collection of
Charles Gordon Carroll III
, an American film producer and book aficionado.
He is best known for being a principal producer for the '
Alien
' film franchise which began in 1979.
We acquired Carroll's library en bloc including several of his personal copies of movie scripts (
'Alien'
(1979)
,
'Cool Hand Luke'
(1967)
,
'Alien 3'
(1992)
,
'How to Murder Your Wife'
(1965)
, etc.) and a few
H.R. Giger
items he amassed over the years.
The H.R. Giger painting completed by Giger for Carroll in 1978 was sold by Abell Auctions in Southern California in March, 2022 for 0,000.
Carroll was also the heir to a large collection of
Limited Editions Club
books which his father acquired when he bought the LEC publishing operations from Ziff-Davis in 1970.
