ALS signed “Kate Hep,” three pages, lightly-lined, 4.5 x 7.75, personal letterhead, April 27 [1972]. A letter to Santa Barbara socialite Alex Tiers in which she discusses her father and George Cukor. In part: “What an odd coincidence—your painter being a patient of Dad’s…I met a man once in the Shannon airport who’s life was saved by Dad—I went up to him to borrow a bike—to take a ride while our plane was being repaired and saw him riding into the airport on it—& stopped him & asked—nearly fainted when he leapt off bowed—said how is your father & mother & Dick & Bob & Marion & Peg (sisters & brothers) Take the bicycle—keep it… Geo. [Cukor] is here seems full & full of life. I think the success of Travels [with My Aunt] has made him very happy.” In fine condition, with slight paper loss to the upper right corner of the second page. A letter with great content from Hepburn’s famously private personal life as well as her career—she collaborated with Cukor on ten films, forming a lifelong friendship with the director.
