Dudley Moore play jazz!
Typed Letter signed: "Walter", 1p, 6x9. "Sunnylands",
Rancho Mirage, California, 1993 March 8. On personal letterhead to actress
and comedienne Phyllis Diller. In full: "I understand that you are
having Dudly Moore play jazz on Tuesday evening, April 13th, but unfortunately,
we have a commitment in the desert that evening, and hence, regret your
thoughtful invitation. Ever warmly". Walter Annenberg (1908-2002),
media mogul, philanthropist and one-time U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain
(1968-1974), headed Triangle Publications, the publisher of "TV Guide",
"Seventeen" and "The Daily Racing Form". He sold the firm to Rupert Murdoch
for over $3 billion in 1988. Annenberg was one of the most generous
philanthropists of all time. He endowed the Annenberg School(s) of
Communication at Penn and Southern Cal and bequeathed $150 million to the
Corporation for Public Broadcasting. In 1991 he donated his art collection,
valued at over $1 billion, to New York's Metropolitan Museum. Annenberg was
awarded the Medal of Freedom by his close personal friend, Ronald Reagan.
