[Gone with the Wind - 75th Anniversary] Leigh, Vivien. (1913-1967)

Signed Letter mentioning "Gone with the Wind."

One paged typed letter, signed in blue ink "Vivien Leigh." On personal letterhead, 6 x 7.5 inches, July 9, 1963. In fine condition with moderate wrinkling along the left edge. Leigh writes from the Majestic Theatre in New York to a "Mr. Sholly":

"Thank you for your charming letter. I am delighted to know that you enjoyed 'Tovarich', and 'Gone with the Wind'. Thank you for taking the trouble to write and tell me so. I return you the photograph which I have signed as requested. Yours sincerely, Vivien Leigh."

Signed letters from the English actress mentioning her role as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind - for which she won the first of her two Academy Awards - are highly prized. At the time of the present letter, Leigh was in New York starring in the musical play, "Tovarich", which is also mentioned in the letter. After opening on 18 March 1963, it ran for a total 264 performances.

Sold together with a 1939 program (4 pp.) from an early screening of Gone with the Wind. (5376)
