Uncommon ALS signed “Love, Missy, Barbara Stanwyck,” one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, April 4, 1977. Letter to Gene and Barbara Voslett, in full: "These are my final instructions in the event of my death. I do not want services of any kind. Cremation and ashes to be scattered over the mountains. I would like you Gene to do this service for me. In the event you are unable to carry out my wishes, perhaps your daughter, my niece Kathleen would. If neither of you can perform this favor for me I have asked my dear friend Larry Kleno to do so; he said he would and he also said he would assist Kathleen. I would not like a stranger to do this—as for the rest—'for those who care, remember me in your own way.'" Includes a vintage matte-finish 11 x 14 portrait of Stanwyck by John Engstead. In fine condition. Stanwyck remains rare in letter formats. Pre-certified Beckett Authentication Services.
