TLS, one page, 8 x 10, personal letterhead, February 1, 1963. Letter to Glenn Laxton at Emerson College. In part (with spelling and grammar retained): “No, I never had any desire to be a legitimate actor– all my family were on the Dramatic side of Show Bus. except my Dad, he was a character comic in Dramas in his earlier years–I guess I followed his footsteps in this respect–straight acting never interested me for some reason, probably knew I was’nt cut out to be a Gable or Cary Grant–with a puss like mine plus a lisp I knew I did’nt qualify! Can you imagine STANLEY LAUREL as ‘McBETH’!!…The reason we left the Hal Roach studio–our contracts expired – unfortunately at the other studios we had no jurisdiction in the stories or the making of the films, we were treated with indifference & not allowed to voice even an opinion – a very unhappy experience for us & very demoralizing after all the years of success. Tragic to us. I hear from Mrs Hardy occasionally, you probably know she re-married sometime ago…” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, mild toning, mainly to edges, and old tape to all four edges. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
