ALS signed “Audrey,” two pages both sides, 6.25 x 8, no date. Letter to director George Cukor. In full: “Once again there are no words to describe the joy of staying with you—and what made it really great is that you now have a permanent solid gold houseguest Oscar by name—I wonder if you know the happiness you gave all your friends by winning it. I must tell you that I am only just emerging from a small nightmare…. the idea that I might have hurt Pat…. is agonizing! Who was right or wrong did not seemed [sic] to matter! Only she mattered to me so…. I am sorry that I did not once again thank you during our last minute talk. Would you darling George give this note to Irene? I send you all my love.” In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to the top edge. At the 1965 Academy Awards, Hepburn replaced Patricia Neal as the presenter for Best Actor, which was won by her My Fair Lady co-star Rex Harrison. Neal became upset that Hepburn failed to mention her during the broadcast, which is what she references in this letter. My Fair Lady was extremely successful at the Awards, winning eight out of twelve nominations, including Cukor as Best Director. This letter demonstrates Hepburn’s pride in the film’s success, despite her own lack of a nomination. A great piece of correspondence between legends of American cinema.
