TLS, one page, 5.25 x 6.75, April 2, 1965. Letter to 15-year-old admirer Mary Healy, in full: "So lovely a letter as yours I've not received in many a moon. You are fifteen—but you seem wildly observant and, from my point of view, seem to know what I'm striving for. At this time I've one picture scheduled for the fall. Another one with Elizabeth Taylor. In the meantime, I'm happy to think, that there is some one like you who seems to appreciate what is devastatingly hard work—if you want to make it 'truthful.' The sum and total is that your letter was lovingly received." In fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. The film with Elizabeth Taylor referenced here—Reflections in a Golden Eye, based on the novel by Carson McCullers—was delayed because of Clift's death in July 1966, prior to production. His starring role ultimately went to Marlon Brando.
