Description

Leigh thanks a fan for his praise of Tovarich, for which she earned the 1963 Tony as best actress in musical comedy

At the age of fifty, Leigh appeared in the musical comedy Tovarich. She took singing and dancing lessons for several hours a day during rehearsals, which paid off.

Thank you for taking the trouble to write and tell me so. I enclosed a photograph which I hope you will like. Yours sincerely, Vivien Leigh.” In fine condition, with even coating of adhesive on the reverse from a previous mounting which shows through faintly, a few small areas of faint discoloration in the borders.
