Description

Fresh of his Oscar for Ben-Hur: “Of all the cliches that turn out to be true about getting one of those little gold men, the truest is the pleasure you take in the warm approval of your colleagues”

TLS, one page, 7 x 10.5, personal letterhead, May 19, 1960. Belated letter of thanks for a previously sent letter. In part: “Though I’ve just returned from a trip halfway around the world, I’ve not yet managed a successful re-entry from the orbit I spun into on Oscar night. Of all the cliches that turn out to be true about getting one of those little gold men, the truest is the pleasure you take in the warm approval of your colleagues. I’m most proud to consider myself one of yours, and very happy for your kind words from the Morning After.” In fine condition, with an ink notation to bottom of page. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
