{{cite encyclopedia}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link)Comedian Lou Costello, one-half of Abbott and Costello, signed this document in 1952 to declare that his betting losses from 1946 exceeded his betting wins. This document is probably related to his tax problems with the IRS, which left him broke by the mid-1950s. Document signed "Lou Costello" and by notary public, both in blue ink. Blank ink notary stamp in lower left corner. 1 page, 8½x11, carbon copy. With embossed 1½-inch diameter embossed notary seal in bottom left corner. June 24, 1952. Costello signed this affidavit the county of Los Angeles, state of California, that his losses exceeded his winnings from wagering in 1946. He was probably rehashing this six year-old information because he was in trouble with the Internal Revenue Service for back taxes. Lou and his partner Bud Abbott wound up selling most of their assets, including their film rights, to satisfy the tax man.
