Description

‘Kate’ reflects on her 1968 Academy Award-winning classic The Lion in Winter: “I must say the first reading made me wild to do it … and Peter such a good actor”

ALS signed “Kate,” one yellow page, lightly-lined, 8 x 12.5, no date. Letter to Armina. In part: “Your letter was charming—You are an angel to write such extravagances & I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed reading them—The script was done by James Goldman, who wrote the play & I must say the first reading made me wild to do it—Tony Harvey the director—really good—great good taste—& an ear & eye—And Peter such a good actor.” In fine condition. Hepburn won her third Best Actress Academy Award for her role as Queen Eleanor. A much longer letter than usually seen and full of spectacular content relating to one of her best films. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RRAuction COA.
