DOLORES GRAY
Dolores Gray sends an autograph letter to a fan thanking him for his support.
Autograph Letter signed: "Dolores Gray", 2p, 6x9½. Boston, Massachusetts, 1959 April 10. On letter head for the Hotel Touriane to "Dear Mr. Johnson.-" In full: "Thank you for your perfectly marvelous letter. I did enjoy seeing the drawing you did - it was superb. In fact, one can see you are extremely talented. It is truly gratifying to learn one has a real and warm and interested fan. This show has been very very trying as we have rehearsed constantly and there has been considerable dissention between the director and me, but at last we are headed for Broadway and there is naught left for us but to do our best and pray. Thank you for all your good wishes." Dolores Gray (1924-2002, born in Chicago, Illinois) was a Tony-winning actress of stage, TV and movies. Rudy Vallee discovered Gray singing in Hollywood supper clubs and featured her on his radio show before her move to Broadway. Most of Gray's experience was on the stage, with a total of eight appearances in Broadway musicals, including a Tony-winning performance as Cornelia in Carnival in Flanders (1953). Gray also appeared as Annie Oakley in the 1947 London production of Annie Get Your Gun. Gray had a few movie appearances - again, mostly in musicals, including a role opposite Gene Kelly in It's Always Fair Weather (1955), Lalume in Kismet (1955) and Sylvia in The Opposite Sex (1956).
