Katharine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), classic American film actress, authentic, autographed vintage handwritten letter in black ink (ALS), with a date of January 8, 1987 notated by Hicks in blue ink towards the top right corner. Over the course of her illustrious career, Hepburn won a record four Academy Awards for the films "Morning Glory," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "The Lion in the Winter" and "On Golden Pond."
This piece comes from a vast collection of letters spanning a 12 year correspondence between the elusive actress and an avid admirer, Alice Hicks. Within these pages, Hepburn's typically short and brief responses to fan mail take on a seemingly invested, almost poetic form, suggesting a deeper, more intimate relationship between the two women. In this letter, Hepburn tells of "such a heavy and long case of bronchitis & the flu," which have both depleted her "strength to thank" Hicks for her "generosity."
Written on personal stationary with red printed lettering, the letter measures approximately 6 x 8 inches in size, and is written and signed in black ink, "K. Hep." The letter has a central horizontal mailing fold. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
