Description

Taylor writes to her 1947 Beverly Hills High date…who was arranged by her brother

Congratulatory greeting card, measuring 4.25 x 5.5, bearing a pre-printed sentiment inside. Above and below the sentiment, Taylor writes, “Dear Danny, I saw the graduation today and it was just wonderful. I want to wish you the best of luck, always—Elizabeth.” In fine condition, with a few minor creases and some scattered light toning. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from the recipient’s niece who writes, in part: “This is a very rare greeting card from Elizabeth Taylor to my Uncle Dan. My uncle was best friends with her brother Howard. Howard asked Uncle Dan if he would take his sister Elizabeth to his prom at Beverly Hills High, cause no one would date her as they thought she was stuck up but actually she was just very shy…The photograph of them together is at The Coconut Grove in 1947.” Also accompanied by a laser print copy of Taylor, her date, and several other couples at the Coconut Grove in 1947. Interesting to see Taylor labeled as shy, considering she was married eight times. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
