JEAN STAPLETON
The late comedic actress writes to a friend
Typed Letter Signed: "Jean". 1p, 7¼x10½. No place, 1978
October 1. On her personal imprinted stationery, to Stella, in part:
"Thank you for your lovely letter of September 20th. Thank you also for the
congratulations and all that. We had a grand time at the Emmy's. It's always a
joy when you can share something with your colleagues...You may have read in the
papers that we went on to Washington on Monday and were honored by the Senate,
the President in the Oval Office and later at the Smithsonian Institution when
Archie and Edith's chairs were placed on permanent exhibit, as a part of
America's culture!!...It was lovely to see you at Totem Pole and to share opening
night with you". From 1971-80, each week the popular TV sitcom All in
the Family was heralded by the glass-shattering offkey singing of Edith
Bunker, aka "Dingbat." This obscured the fact that the woman who so
brilliantly portrayed Edith (earning her Emmy Awards) not only possessed a
lilting, well-modulated singing voice, but also was as far removed as possible
from a "dingbat" in real life. Jean Stapleton(1923-2013) endeared herself to
Broadwayites with her wistfully funny characterizations in the SRO musicals
Damn Yankees, Bells Are Ringing, and Funny Girl, roles that
she would carry over into the film versions of these hits. Most of her
onscreen work could be found in New York-based movies (Something
Wild, Up the Down Staircase, Klute) and TV series (Car 54,
Where Are You, The Defenders, The Patty Duke Show). Fold
creases. Ink note in unknown hand on verso. Fine condition.
