Katharine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), classic American film actress, authentic, autographed vintage typed letter (TLS), dated March 14, 1991. 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. On the heels of a very curt rejection letter, the capricious actress promptly changes her tune after receiving a shipment of her beloved chocolates: "Your huge box of turtles just arrived - We were all desperate - running out of energy - and out of faith in the beauty of life - We tore the box open - ripped off the cover...and literally gobbled them up - Now the happy household wants to send you a great big hug - Wow!"
Typed on personal stationary with red printed lettering, the letter measures approximately 5.5 x 8.5 inches in size, and has been signed in black ink, "Luv Katharine." Letter bears a central horizontal mailing fold. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
