Howard Hughes Gift to Joan Fontaine
"WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS BY THE AUCTIONEER ONCE ALL BIDS HAVE BEEN PROCESSED TO DETERMINE THE WINNER FOR EACH LOT."
Autograph letter signed by Joan Fontaine to a good Samaritan who found and returned an engraved bracelet, included in the lot, to the star. Letter, dated 12 September 1996, reads in part: ''It was kind and thoughtful of you to return the bracelet which I wasn't aware I'd lost. Do keep it…Joan Fontaine''. The bracelet is engraved ''Joan Fontaine'' on the front and ''Love, Howard'' on the back, presumably by Howard Hughes, who proposed to Fontaine multiple times. Letter is damaged and taped on verso, bracelet is scratched. Overall very good.
