MAURICE CHEVALIER
An autograph letter, signed, from Maurice Chevalier to Audrey Hepburn on Linden Hill Hotel, Bethesda, Maryland headed stationery, dated 23 April, 1968, the one page letter in black felt pen reading Dear Audrey. I wanted to tell the audience - on the Tony's evening - what I thought of you and - at the last minute - got frightened to take too much time - It was good to be with you - hand in hand - in front of all America - But it was too short - I hope - some day soon - I will be able to see you again - and have a long and affectionate talk, switching to French to express his admiration and love je t'admire et t'aime infiniment, signed Maurice

Maurice Chevalier as Claude Chavasse played Hepburn's [Ariane's] father in Love in the Afternoon. According to Barry Paris, Chevalier won her heart with a telegram on the first day of shooting: "How proud I would be, and full of love I would be, if I really had a daughter like you". Hepburn and Chevalier were both honoured with Special Tony Awards on 21st April, 1968, at the Shubert Theater, New York.
