LYNN FONTANNE
Thanks a well-wisher after the death of husband Alfred Lunt
Printed Card signed in ink: "Lynn Fontanne", 4½x3½. Printed message in full: "Your kind expression of sympathy is deeply appreciated and gratefully acknowledged." Fine condition. Accompanied by unsigned envelope (4¾x3¾) addressed in unknown hand to Bruce Hewitt, New York, N.Y., postmarked Genessee Depot, Wisconsin, August 16, 1977. Neatly opened at top edge. Slightly soiled. Otherwise, fine condition. English born actress Lynn Fontanne (1892-1983) was a Broadway star for nearly 50 years, beginning in 1910. She was married to her frequent co-star, Alfred Lunt, from 1922 until his death in 1977. Although the Lunts scored Oscar nominations for the film version of their Broadway performance in The Guardsmen (1931), they generally shunned films in favor of live theater. They were co-recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1964) and Lifetime Achievement Tony awards (1970). In 1980, Lynne Fontanne accepted Kennedy Center honors on behalf of the "First Couple of the Theatre". Alfred Lunt died on August 2, 1977. The couples longtime residence, Ten Chimneys, was located in Genessee Depot, Wisconsin. Two items.
