Academy Award–winning British photographer and costume and production designer (1904–1980). TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, December 27, 1948. In a letter to Lance Clarke, Beaton responds to a theatrical request, in full: “Thank you for sending me the play and the nice things you said in your letter. I would very much like to do a production with you some time, but as I explained to you on the telephone, this is a very short trip for me this winter and I do not plan to be here long enough to undertake the decoration of a play. Also I must say I do not think this particular play gives me much opportunity to really indulge my ‘gorgeous notions.’ I am flattered that you would like me to act, but again I trust you will let me know when you find a part that suits me better. I believe, by the way, that Kay Hammond is really quite ill and incapable of acting for some time. She may have recovered but I heard of her only a month ago when she was still taking it very quietly at Brighton,” adding a post-script in pencil at the bottom of the page, in part: “Left key with Hitchcock.” Intersecting folds, one of which affect the capital “B” of the last name, scattered light wrinkling and light toning along the top edge, otherwise fine condition.
