Description

Leigh Vivien

Vivien Leigh Writes a Close Friend Leigh, Vivien. Typed Letter, Signed by Vivien Leigh to Joyce Huddart. [London]. Oct. 2, 1959. 1 page on Leigh’s blue stationery. Near fine.

Vivien Leigh writes a letter to her close friend, Joyce Huddart. One can project that she perhaps met Joyce during her period acting in the theaters of London. Joyce was head of wardrobe and also participated as stage crew for the London Tower Theatre, and the two corresponded regularly over a period of many years. In this brief but warm note, Leigh writes: “My dear Joyce, Your yellow roses were so pretty, and I particularly liked your poem – thank you for both so very, very much. It’s always so nice to see your smiling face.” Vivien Leigh's ultimate passion was for roles in theater. She was quoted as saying, “I'm not a film star - I'm an actress. Being a film star - just a film star - is such a false life, lived for fake values and for publicity. Actresses go on for a long time and there are always marvelous parts to play.” A nice autograph exemplar.
