MARIE WINDSOR
Handwritten letter from the actress wondering, "Where did you get the idea you could trade a collection of photos for a down payment on a house?"
Autograph Letter Signed: "M.W.", in blue ink, 1p, 5½x7. No place, no date. On sheet imprinted with her name to "Mr. Head". In full: "I'm sorry about your son David. I know how difficult such a problem can be. Wherever did you get the idea you could trade a collection of photos for a down payment on a house? Especially if they are autographed to a specific person? In my opinion it's quite unrealistic. I wish you luck./ Sincerely". Although Marie Windsor (1919-2000), born Emily Marie Bertelsen, said her favorite films were Hellfire (1949), The Narrow Margin (1952) and The Killing (1956), the actress and expert horsewoman is best known for her roles in "B" Westerns in the 1940s. Her long list of feature films includes Song of the Thin Man (1947, her first featured role), The Fighting Kentuckian (1949), The Eddie Cantor Story (1953), Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (1955), Cahill U.S. Marshall (1973), and Freaky Friday (1976). Windsor also appeared in a long list of TV series from 1952 (The Unexpected) to 1991 (Murder, She Wrote), making repeat guest-starring visits to such shows as Hawaiian Eye, Perry Mason, Adam-12, and Simon & Simon. Windsor, who served as a director of the Screen Actors Guild for 25 years, died the day before her 81st birthday. Ink slightly smudged at some words (all legible). Slightly creased. Otherwise, fine condition.
