Katharine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), classic American film actress, authentic, autographed vintage typed letter (TLS), dated July 16, 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. Hepburn's autobiography, "Me: Stories of My Life," was published in 1991; in this response to Hicks, the new author laments that she's "drowning in work here - interviews and stuff necessary to try and sell the book. Very wearing in this hot weather - struggling to try to be fascinating - That's my life at the moment -"
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, "Best, K." Letter bears a central horizontal mailing fold. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
