Katharine Hepburn (May 12, 1907 - June 29, 2003), classic American film actress, authentic, autographed vintage typed letter (TLS), dated June 24, 1992. Includes vintage typed letter from Hepburn's assistant, Sharon Powers. Over the course of her illustrious career, Hepburn won a record four Academy Awards for the films "Morning Glory," "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," "The Lion in the Winter" and "On Golden Pond."
This piece comes from a vast collection of letters spanning a 12 year correspondence between the elusive actress and an avid admirer, Alice Hicks. Within these pages, Hepburn's typically short and brief responses to fan mail take on a seemingly invested, almost poetic form, suggesting a deeper, more intimate relationship between the two women. Hepburn traveled frequently for filming, and during these times, would instruct Hicks not to send anything in her absence: "Anything that you write here to me can be sent to me - Otherwise I should be back I think around the middle of August - Don't get too frazzled - It isn't worth it -"
Typed on personal stationary with red printed lettering, the letter measures approximately 5.5 x 8.5 inches in size, and has been signed in black ink, "K. Hep." Letter bears a central horizontal mailing fold. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
Also accompanied a typed and signed letter on the same stationary from Hepburn's assistant, Sharon Powers, clearly indicating that, once again, Hicks ignored Hepburn's request: "Wow! Your goodies arrived - Miss H will be thrilled - She's out of town for a couple of months but I'll have to forward them to her - Thank you - Thank you -"
