^Lot 983 Audrey Hepburn

ALS signed “Audrey,” two pages, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, no date, but a pencil notation in an unknown hand “Aug/65,” at the top of the first page. Letter to George Cukor. In full: “Adored your note…life has been dismal without them! Am off to Paris to work tomorrow—I’m going to be in fast company…and my socks are sagging. The best part…I can come home weekends it’s so near!! Our precious Italian has gone all French on us!! I long for you to come see us…when will you next be in Europe…the house and garden is all I dreamed…just you wait (sung by me!). I love you more than ever.” In fine condition, with a paperclip impression to top edge. Based on the date, Hepburn is talking about her upcoming film How to Steal a Million, which was shot in Paris. A thinly-veiled dig at the fact that much of Hepburn’s singing in My Fair lady was dubbed by Marni Nixon. In the end, only the classic ‘Just You Wait’ was actually sung by Hepburn.
