HEPBURN KATHARINE: (1907-2003) American Actress, Academy Award winner. A good T.L.S., Kate, one page, 8vo, n.p., 8th April 1986, to John [Beal]. Hepburn states that it was sweet of her correspondent to write to her with such an enthusiastic letter and continues too refer to some recent acting work, 'It was great fun to do - and such a relief to do one on the up rather than the down. At this point, the scripts I get are really so hopeless - death - doom - defeat' and concludes 'Do you realise that we made ''Little Minister'' in 1935 - incredible!'. A letter of good association and unusually good content when compared to most which appear at auction from this period of Hepburn's life. VG John Beal (1909-1997) American Actor who portrayed Reverend Gavin Dishart opposite Katharine Hepburn, in the role of Babbie, in the American drama film The Little Minister.
