Description

“Garbo came into pictures in 1925 and Harlow and I in 1926. Valentino, Shearer, Burke, and Davies were long before us”

TLS, one page, 5.75 x 9.25, personal letterhead, July 16, 1952. Letter to an admirer. In part: “Your idea to frame old covers is interesting, but I think you are wrong on your dates, as I happen to know Jean Harlow and Greta Garbo, and certainly I was not in the 1915-16-17 group. Garbo came into pictures in 1925 and Harlow and I in 1926. Valentino, Shearer, Burke, and Davies were long before us…You ask about my fan club. Unfortunately it was disbanded, and at the moment there are no definite plans for forming another one.” Letter is affixed to an identical size piece of cardstock. In fine condition, with trimmed edges and a mounting remnant along the reverse of left edge. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
