JEAN HAYWORTH
The character actress types this letter thanking Todd Axelrod, founder of the Gallery
of History, for paying her the compliment of counting her among the important figures
in Hollywood
Typed Letter signed: "Jean Owens Hayworth" in black ink, 1p, 8½x11. No place, 1984 July
23. On her personal letterhead. To "Dear Mr. Axelrod". In full: "Your kind invitation to join
the illustrious names in you museum was deeply appreciated./ It would appear that you
are misinformed, however, in the matter of my importance in the industry. While I have
been in the business off and on most of my life, and steadily in the past forty years, I have
never achieved anything near stardom. A character woman is my sole claim to fame,
supporting those who were stars. However in the past quarter of the century I have made
a passable living doing commercials, pretty much to the exclusion of anything else./
Thank you for thinking I had made it bigger than I have in the business. I am flattered./ I
wish you enormous success in your venture./ Sincerely". Lightly toned. Two horizontal
mailing folds. Staple holes toward top left edge. Otherwise, fine condition. Original mailing
envelope, 9½x4, included. Staple holes toward top left edge. Neatly sliced open along top
edge. Otherwise, fine condition. Jean Hayworth (1905-1995) was an actress who appeared
in a number of TV series and TV movies in guest-starring roles. A few of the TV series
she was on include Father Knows Best in 1957, Marcus Welby, M.D. in 1971, and Highway
to Heaven in 1986. Hayworth also appeared in a couple of made-for-TV movies: The Real
Glory (1952) and The World on a Wire (1953). Two items.
