Autograph Letter signed: "Zoe Caldwell", 2 pages (front and verso), 5x8. Helen Hayes Theatre [New York], March 12 [1968). To "Dear James Lowe", in full: "Thank you for your letter. How marvelous that you are so fond of 'Miss Brodie'. If you ever wish to come back stage to say hello please do. I have enclosed a photograph and I have autographed it as you wishes. [Item not included.] Sincerely". Zoe Caldwell (b. 1933) is a four-time Tony Award-winning actress. She began acting at nine in a production of Peter Pan and, at 15, left school to teach speech and perform on a children's radio program. Caldwell performed in Australia - she is one of the original members of the Union Theatre Repertory Company in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - before making her Broadway debut in The Devils (1965-1966). She has since appeared in 12 Broadway productions as of this biography, earning Tony Awards for her performances in Slapstick Tragedy (1966), The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (in the title role, January 16 - December 14, 1968), Medea (1982) and Master Class (1995-1997). Caldwell also has 16 TV shows and movies to her credit (as of this biography) since 1961, including a recreation of her role of Medea in the TV adaptation of that play. Disney fans may recognize her voice as that of the Grand Councilwoman of the United Galactic Federation in Lilo & Stitch (2002). Normal mailing folds. Lightly toned around corners.
