MY FAIR LADY, 1964/DEBORAH KERR
An autograph letter, signed, from Deborah Kerr to Audrey Hepburn on Hotel Bel-Air, Los Angeles headed stationery, dated Friday, 5 March, [1956], the one page letter in blue ballpoint pen on both sides of one sheet, written in reaction to Hepburn not receiving an Academy Award nomination for My Fair Lady, Kerr opens indignantly ...how postively stunned, amazed and shocked and disgusted and 'you name it' we both were at your not being nominated. If I started to go into all that I feel - all the resentment and boiling anger I entertain for the whole sham-hypocritical-sickening mess the Oscar thing has deteriorated into in these last years, I would take pages, going on to express her deep sympathy ...we feel for you so very much, because however philosophical one is, however one says she doesn't really care, ONE DOES!! And it hurts, Kerr puts things into perspective But then one starts to think of that tragic Pat Neal... and one knows that the Oscar is an eye-drop in this world of pain and madness, ending Darling one - we send very very much love..., signed Fondly & affectionately, Deborah
