Description

A spirited collection of correspondence from the actress, containing the instructions, “Keep your body, mind and soul clean at all times & you will achieve that God-like feeling”

A vast assortment of 23 items, including ALSs, postcards, and greeting cards, all addressed to esteemed collector, Saul Goodman, thanking him for various “clips,” “notices,” and “reviews” he has sent to the actress over the course of 20 years, from 1979 through 1999. One particular card, featuring a small kitten on the front, bears the note, “Bless your Heart—and the rest of your anatomy—and The ‘spirit’ it ‘Houses.’ In other and better words, ‘All of You,’” while in another, McGuire writes, in part: “The next two weeks are ‘theatre-going’—the Neil Simon play—’Laughter of the 23rd Floor’—and at the Mark Taper Theatre—Terrance McNally’s Master Class. You’re too young to be stepping in and out of the hospital…This is a quote from a book called Natural Remedies for Better Health—by Ingrid Sherman. ‘Keep your body, mind and soul clean at all times & you will achieve that God-like feeling.’ Onward with wellness, Dorothy McG.” In overall fine condition, with some light toning and creasing. Each of the 12 letters are accompanied by their original mailing envelopes, addressed in McGuire’s hand. RRAuction COA.
