TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, October 14, 1950. Letter to Virginia Graham of the London Evening Standard, in part: "Due to the fact that I have been on a 33-city tour here in the United States, in connection with 'Sunset Boulevard,' the reviews of the picture's opening in London have just reached me…on the eve, practically, of my departure for London itself. This, therefore, is hardly a thank you note for the nice things you wrote, because I anticipate doing that personally during my 10 days there." In fine condition. Widely praised by critics upon its release, Sunset Boulevard was nominated for eleven Academy Awards; Swanson was nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her iconic portrayal of Norma Desmond.
