The following year, he had three hits on Broadway. In 1947, Sheldon won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer (1947).

His 18 novels have sold over 300 million copies, and many have been made into feature films or made-for-TV movies or miniseries. Sheldon's autobiography, The Other Side of Me, was released in November 2005. In the year he wrote this letter, Sheldon was the executive producer of the made-for-TV movie, The Sands of Time, which was adapted from his novel. Normal mailing fold. Slightly creased.
