Superb TLS signed “As ever, Audrey,” one page, 5.25 x 7, October 3, 1952. Letter to Raymond Rouleau. In part: “I have just got back from Rome where I spent four months working with another (Wyler) great man. I feel I have again learned more about this mysterious and incredibly difficult thing called acting. I found myself listening to your directions many, many times during the picture, as I always will…God bless you for having this quality to give to people like ourselves a knowledge of our work, which only very, very few can do. How I wish I could work with you again.” A small stain to the center and staple holes to upper left, otherwise fine condition. Rouleau had been the director for the 1951 Broadway play Gigi, in which Hepburn played the lead role. Immediately after the play finished in the spring of 1952, Hepburn left for Rome to begin shooting Roman Holiday, directed by William Wyler—her first starring role in Hollywood. A wonderful early letter discussing her acting career and one of her most iconic films. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
