Katharine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), classic American film actress, authentic autographed handwritten letter (ALS), one page, postmarked May 17, 1994. 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 sends thanks for "Red roses - chocolates / the kind I really like - the covered raisins - ! How generous & how very thoughtful thoughtful you are..."
Accompanied by original, hand-addressed mailing envelope.
Composed on deckled personal stationary with red printed lettering, the letter measures approximately 7.5 x 9.5 inches in size, and has been penned and signed in black ink, "Katharine."
In fine condition, with a rough right edge.
