Description

Reagan on Stanwyck: “She is a pro”

TLS, two pages, 8.5 x 11, State of California Governor’s Office letterhead, May 16, 1972. Letter to a theater professor at the University of Connecticut. In part: “‘Cattle Queen of Montana’ was the only picture I ever made with Barbara Stanwyck…She is a pro…She is ready every day exactly on time, her lines learned perfectly for each day’s shooting, prepared to undergo whatever has to be done…In ‘Cattle Queen,’ for example, there is a scene where she is bathing in a mountain lake. The director was prepared to shoot with a double because the temperature of the water was in the midforties. Naturally, the scene would not be as good if the camera had to play far enough away…She insisted on doing the scene herself.” In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to the upper left and slight skipping to the signature. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
