TLS signed “Audrey,” one page, 8.25 x 11, March 22, 1965. Letter written from Madris to George Cukor. In part: “Of course we are going to stay with you. I was fully aware of the ‘kennel’ all along and only insincere discretion stopped me from suggesting it myself. And only the same kind of sentiment made me halfheartedly write Henry for those measly reservations at the Beverly Hills Hotel…Your marvellous paragraphs on the mystery of the nominations are only superb and I have tucked your letter away for safe keeping along with other precious epistles such as that from the proper Hepburn and some equally adorable ones from such people as Cathleen Nesbitt and Deborah. Am in the middle of ‘The Avengers’ so by the time I hit Cordell I shall have done all my homework…My loving thanks for the time you’ve taken and the sweet care you have devoted to setting my heart and mind at peace. With the possible exception of one Melchor Gaston Ferrer, no-one has ever quite cared that much about my emotional well being.” Hepburn adds to short handwritten postscripts at the bottom regarding information on her arrival in Los Angeles on April 4, 1965. She has also underlined several words of text. Scattered stray ink marks, otherwise fine condition. Hepburn was shut out of the nominations for Best Actress for My Fair Lady, despite the film being nominated for eight awards. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
