Description

“I’m putting your letter in my scrap-book, so I can point with pride to the fact that someone called me an ‘actress’ once”

ALS, two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, The Flamingo Hotel letterhead, no date. Letter to Mr. Goodman. In part: “I’m really at a loss about any information such as you ask. Mr. Preminger would be the only answer. To be called any kind of an actress is quite a thrill, since I never thought of it as anything but just being myself, and doing what one would naturally do under the circumstances. I’m putting your letter in my scrap-book, so I can point with pride to the fact that someone called me an ‘actress’ once.” In fine condition, with some mild edge toning. RR Auction COA.
