Description

“In today’s holocaust it is gratifying to raise a young man who is kind, sensitive and normal”

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, May 7, 1970. Letter to John Maloney, in full: "When one has a son and the son turns out well, one becomes prideful. Pride is a sin, so let's say thankful. I am thankful to you for your kind review of his picture 'Norwood.' In today's holocaust it is gratifying to raise a young man who is kind, sensitive and normal. I have been moved to write this letter of appreciation to you." Haley makes a single handwritten correction. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. The former husband of Liza Minnelli, Jack Haley, Jr., was an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker best remembered for the films The Love Machine, That's Entertainment!, and Norwood, which starred his father in his second-to-last role.
