Typed interview with Lee runs six pages and is concurrent with his role on ''The Green Hornet'' TV series, which aired from 1966-67. Article contains a good deal of biographical information on Lee, including his background in education and martial arts training, along with anecdotal reports such as, ''...he can grab a dime right out of your palm...and left a penny clutched in our hand in exchange for the dime, a switch he executed so swiftly it almost seemed magical...'' Article for a magazine interview features hand notes, possibly by Lee correcting simple spelling errors and the like. In addition, pencil sketches to verso illustrate martial arts training equipment including a shin guard and striking shield. Sheets are stapled at upper left corner and measure 9'' x 12''.
