Description

“A giant pole collapsed and hit me full on! Murderous time”

Four items: two ALSs on personal stationery, the first dated October 31, 1951, and the other dated September 14, 1977, in which Sothern writes to esteemed collector, Saul Goodman. In the first letter, she thanks Goodman for the “lovely flowers for my opening!,” and in the second, she writes, in part: “I am getting to feel much better. Had a bad accident to my back in Jacksonville Fla on the stage ‘73. A giant pole collapsed and hit me full on! Murderous time, since—but after much therapy and hospitalization things are improving”; a color Christmas postcard, 5.75 x 3.5; and a religious Christmas card, 5 x 6.5, which Sothern signs in red felt tip, “A.” In fine condition, with some light creasing. Accompanied by two original mailing envelopes, addressed in Sothern’s hand. RRAuction COA.
