TLS signed “love, Paul,” who adds a smiley face sketch, one page, 7.25 x 9.75, personal letterhead, September 2, 1999. Letter to friend and actor Victor Spinetti, in full: “I got a message that you rang while I was away…We had a really great August and were very lucky with the weather. Stella and James were with me for the duration (as our American cousins would say) and Heather, Mary, Alistair, and baby Arthur also managed to spend some time with us. So all in all we had a great holiday. It was lovely to visit you in Brighton, and even though it was for such a short time I think we managed to pack in a lot of good vibes and emotion. Hope all continues to go well with you, you lovely boy!” In very good to fine condition, with light overall creasing. Accompanied by a letter of provenance and a certificate of authenticity from Tracks.
Victor Spinetti (1929-2012) appeared in dozens of films and stage plays throughout his fifty-year career, including the three 1960s Beatles films A Hard Day's Night, Help!, and Magical Mystery Tour. He also appeared on the Beatles' 1967 Christmas recording, released to members of their fan club. The best explanation for this long-running collaboration and friendship might have been provided by George Harrison, who told Spinetti, ‘You've got to be in all our films…if you're not in them, me Mum won't come and see them – because she fancies you.’ But Harrison also later told him, ‘You've got a lovely karma, Vic.’ McCartney once described Spinetti as ‘the man who makes clouds disappear.’
