Autograph Letter signed: "Julie Harris" in blue ink, 1p, 8¼x10¾. 1992 March 17. Addressed to "Mr. Barch". In full: "Dear Mr. Barch - I am in rehearsal for Peter Shaffer's play, 'Lettice and Lovage' at this time and I haven't got any free time - you should read Constantin Stanislavsky STANISLAVSKI'S book - ' My Life in Art' - and I know you will feel from that that it is important for the actor to feel what the character he or she is portraying is feeling. Best wishes - Cordially,". Julie Harris (1925-2013) has six Tony Awards to her name, the most ever won by a performer. She won for I Am a Camera (1952), The Lark (1956, as Joan of Arc), Forty Carats (1969), The Last of Mrs. Lincoln (1973), and as Emily Dickinson in the one-character play The Belle of Amherst (1977), plus a special Tony (2002) for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre.
