ANITA BRYANT
The beauty queen-turned-activist pens this note to a fan in black ink
Autograph Note signed: "To Sgt. Farrell/ Thanks/ for serving/ With Love,/ Anita Bryant" in
black ink, 5x3. Anita Bryant (b. 1940), a former Miss Oklahoma and runner-up of Miss
America, had some hit pop singles in 1959 and 1960, including Paper Roses and Till
There Was You. Thereafter she concentrated on religious music and moved to Miami to raise
a family. She was much in demand as a commercial spokeswoman and was associated
most closely with the Florida Citrus Commission's promotions of orange juice. In 1977,
Bryant campaigned against a Miami-Dade County ordnance protecting the rights of
homosexuals. Alleging that gays hoped to recruit children to their lifestyle, she founded
Save Our Children to oppose gay rights nationally. These efforts provoked a boycott of
Florida oranges, and the Citrus Commission and other advertisers dropped her from their
campaigns. She tried to establish music theaters in Branson, Missouri and other sites in the
Ozarks, but the ventures ended in bankruptcy. Pencil notes in an unknown hand on verso.
Otherwise, fine condition.
