'I don't HAVE to lie about ANYTHING WHATSOEVER and all she CAN do, along with my husband, who has admitted paternity of somebody's poor little bastard born a year ago is to try to defame me, impugn my honest and say all manner of things in order make thei

Often described as the "girl with the perfect face," she died in a fire at the age of 41. Terrific content TLS signed 'Linda,' with her own handwritten edits, two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, November 21, 1963. In part: 'Your letter truly gave me a much needed lift in morale...perhaps you have since read more of my troubles in the papers, as I went to the Divorce Curt on November 12, and it hit the papers like crazy here, because of the very nature of the sordidness of my husband's actions. I can only say that I don't HAVE to lie about ANYTHING WHATSOEVER and all she CAN do, along with my husband, who has admitted paternity of somebody's poor little bastard born a year ago is to try to defame me, impugn my honest and say all manner of things in order make their sins appear less black. I'm sure that God will continue to bless you...please excuse my typing, I'm not any expert, but longhand is almost impossible for me...illegible. I thank you with all my heart, and commend you for being a good reporter...that's what journalism is supposed to be, isn't it? You, indeed, a rare one. I salute you. Ever gratefully yours, Linda.' Accompanied by an unsigned photo of the actress. In fine condition. RRAuction COA.
