Description

“The unexpected will happen, and I am sure you will find your happiness”

Distinguished Hungarian-born American film director (1886–1962) who helmed such all-time classics as Casablanca, Angels with Dirty Faces, Yankee Doodle Dandy, and White Christmas. Nominated four times for an Academy Award as Best Director, he won the Oscar for Casablanca. TLS signed “Mike,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Paramount Pictures Corporation letterhead, May 16, 1957. Letter to an admirer. In part: “Your beautiful letter touched me deeply. It is fine writing and shows a deep and hidden emotion which reflects your character. The tone of your wording is a little bitter and cynical. It shouldn’t be. You are a lovely lady, a fine, good girl, and some day, some how, the unexpected will happen, and I am sure you will find your happiness. Then you will smile to remember the dark times past.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
