Description

Mentioning his Academy Award-winning role of Thomas More, Scofield adds “I think I admire him as much as you do and am glad that such a man was born”

Distinguished British actor (born 1926) who won the 1966 Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in the film A Man for All Seasons. ALS, one page both sides, 6 x 8, personal letterhead, October 12, 1980. Letter in response to a question. In part: “I will try to answer your question–though I know I cannot because if I could I would indeed be a Thomas More. But to begin with how can one know if one would stubbornly defend an ideal to the death, unless one is put to the test? All I can truly say is that I think I admire him as much as you do and am glad that such a man was born.” In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
