Thank you, Jean.; the second: one page, on Hotel Concord, Murray Hill, NY, headed paper, in blue ink, reading Dear Terry, I love you - how I love you. I've just got your present and I can't tell you how thrilled I am - I'm so excited. Really, darling, thank you - it has made me very happy because you know I get sad and lonely, even though I try to smile. I look forward to being locked up - that really means I want to become part of the collector's private collection. I need you very much, Jean, with airmail envelope to 'Terence Stamp Esq' in LA, postmarked faintly 1964; the third: two pages on blue paper, in black ink, dated 10th December 1987, reading Dear Terry, Thank you very much for your letter and for all the consideration you show me. However I really hate reading about myself and so would be quite happy to leave it to your discretion. Also regarding the royalties - it is very generous of you but I don't really need it and would feel happier if you gave it to some animal charity. Good luck with the book, Love Jean. with postmarked envelope to Terence at Studio City in California; Together with a selection of postcards and photographs of Terence Stamp with Jean Shrimpton on holiday, taken by Terry O'Neill, some vintage, some modern reproductions (various sizes); (Qty) Footnotes: Jean Shrimpton and Terence Stamp were one of the most iconic couples of the 'Swinging Sixties' (c. 1964-1967), embodying the style and spirit of the era. As a celebrated supermodel and an emerging film star, they attracted constant media attention and were widely regarded as one of London's most glamorous pairings. While Stamp later described Shrimpton as the love of his life, their relationship - though intense - lasted only a few years. Shrimpton reflected that her feelings were more rooted in an infatuation with his appearance, whereas Stamp remembered her as his first 'steady girlfriend'. Their relationship came to an end when Shrimpton decided to leave, feeling that Stamp struggled to express the depth of his emotions. The split deeply affected him, coinciding with a downturn in his acting career and prompting him to step back from Hollywood for a time. Their image was immortalised in a series of photographs by Terry O'Neill, whose work captured their effortless glamour and helped define the visual identity of the era.
