American novelist and actress (1918–1974) best known for her epic roman a clef success, Valley of the Dolls. ALS signed “Jackie Susann,” three pages on two adjoining sheets, 11 x 8.5, Hyde Park letterhead, March 1949. In a letter to Eleanor, Susann writes, with grammar retained, in part: “Don’t drop dead—this is really a letter out of the blue—but I am here resting & it’s the first time I’ve had a moment free—and I’ve often thought about you & your folks—so I figured it might be nice to say hello. How are you—and what are you doing? As you probably know I have a divine baby boy—he’s two—his name is Guy. I’ve gotten a week off between television shows, so I flew down here. And the other night I walked into a nightclub & who do you think I saw—Herman Robinson! Remember him? And just before I left N. Y. I was standing in a restaurant kibitzing with some people & a rather beat up looking girl walked over & said, ‘Hello Jackie—remember me?’ And Eleanor—it was June Knight! It really took me back—I’m leaving here in a few days, I have a television show in N. Y. Saturday and one on Monday. If you get near a set—it is the Morey Amsterdam Show…I live at the Navaro Hotel—112 Central Park South—and I would adore seeing you. This is not a ‘Hollywood invitation.’ I really mean it. Why don’t you come over some day—we’ll see a show & hash over old times & I want you to see my baby. Hows about it?” In fine condition, with scattered creasing and a faint, numeric pencil notation in another hand. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, addressed in Susann’s hand.
