細節

CECIL B. DEMILLE
A typewritten letter, signed, from Cecil B. DeMille to Audrey Hepburn on Paramount Pictures Corporation headed stationery, dated 31 March, 1953, the one page letter addressed to Miss Audrey Hepburn at the Exeter Hotel, Seattle, Washington, reading You thank me for my 'kindness to you at the luncheon' given for you at Paramount. When I find myself sitting near such a charming guest of honor 'kindness' comes very easily to me. As the years go by, I hope I shall be present at many luncheons given in your honor during a long and happy association with Paramount. Thank you for your good wishes on the Academy Awards. I have learned two things from them - I can still be surprised and I have more friends than I knew, signed in blue ink Cecil B. deMille
11 x 8 ½ in. (27.9 x 21.6 cm.)
