Sayonara, 1957/Deborah Kerr
An autograph letter, signed, from Deborah Kerr, dated 9 January [probably 1958], on 15040 Corona Del Mar, Pacific Palisades, California headed stationery, the letter congratulating Brando on his performance in Sayonara: My Dear Marlon, Last night I saw Sayonara, and, at the risk of sounding and appearing insincere in the community of perpetual 'note-dropping' - I felt absolutely compelled to express my admiration and gratitude for your really exquisite performance. Exquisite may sound, I suppose, an ill-chosen word to apply to an actor but it was just that - I can think of no other word that expresses the refinement - the myriad thoughts illuminating the scenes - long before the words were spoken. It was a performance of such skill. And one which, for another of the same trade to watch, was an unbelievable enjoyment! Thank you again - and forgive my 'fan' letter!... Most most sincerely, Deborah Kerr, 2pp.; accompanied by another autograph letter, signed, from Kerr to Jay Kanter enclosing the letter to be forwarded on to Brando, 1p. (2)
