LEIGH, VIVIEN
(1913 - 1967) English film actress best known for her Academy Award-winning role as Scarlett in "Gone With the Wind". A.L.S. "Vivien" on Huntington Hotel letterhead, 3pp. 4to., Aug. 20, [n.y. but ca. 1960), to gossip columnist Radie Harris, in part: "...I have two wonderful letters to thank you for...I am absolutely loving San Francisco. The audiences are wonderful & many of them...We have one more week after Chicago...I shall go to France by sea, spend a week in Paris getting clothes for the film & drive down to Rome...Trudie [her maid] leaves today. I am very sad but her replacement has been here a week and is nice...We play the Blackstone in Chicago...Love from Jack too". At the time of this letter, Leigh was starring in the American stage production "Duel of Angels". Having broken with Laurence Olivier in 1958, she began a relationship in 1960 with actor John Merivale. Boldly written in her typically hurried hand, very good condition.
