Booted from South Fork: “The outcome was very shocking and disappointing”

ALS, one page, 5.75 x 4.5, July 17, 1985. Reed writes to a fan named Mr. Reed. In full: “Thank you for your kind comments regarding my work in ‘Dallas’; needless to say the outcome was very shocking and disappointing to me. However, I have had a long career and a good life, for which I am thankful every day of my life!…” Reed joined the cast of the hit prime-time soap Dallas, as matriarch Ellie Ewing, after the original actress in the role, Barbara Bel Geddes, left the show following heart surgery. When Bel Geddes decided to return to the show, Reed sued the production company, Lorimar, for breach of contract and ultimately settled the case for more than a million dollars. In very fine condition. RRAuction COA.
