Description

The blonde bombshell as “serious” actress: “It is my first dramatic part ... the kind I want to do in the future”

TLS signed “Jayne,” one page on a 7.75 x 9.5 sheet of airmail stationery, October 12, 1959. Mansfield writes from Oxford, England to columnist Walter Winchell at the Daily Mirror. In part: “You are always such a good friend; I appreciate very much your coming to my rescue concerning the Blackpool incident. It certainly made me feel good that you read in between the lines and saw the situation so clearly…. Incidentally, my picture, ‘Too Hot to Handle,’ I am completing this week. I am so excited about it; it is my first dramatic part. This is the kind I want to do in the future.” Mailing fold touching signature and a few minor wrinkles, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
