Description

“STUDIOUSNESS, CONCENTRATION, AND GOOD READING”: LAHR offers advice to an aspiring actor

TLS, one page, 7 x 10.25, personal letterhead, September 12, 1951. Lahr writes to Mickey Miller in Washington, D.C. In part: “There is very little I can explain regarding your request. My advice to you is application, such as practical experience. Under those conditions you will learn and be advised by your director regarding what you ask of me. I am sure when you get through with your course—and if you have the good fortune of getting employment in your desired profession—these things will come very easily. That is, if you have the talent for it. I have had the same requests from time to time and I have always advised studiousness, concentration, and good reading. Watch your favourite actors and actresses and try to fashion yourself after them. This is the only advice I can give anyone who has ambitions for becoming an actor….” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. A touch of mild handling wear, otherwise fine condition. R&R COA.
