[Charles Agvent]

SONDHEIM, Stephen. ARCHIVE of 10 TYPED LETTERS SIGNED (TLSs) to Robert 
Osborne. Fine group of letters from Sondheim variously SIGNED as 
"Steve," "Steve S," and one as "Merle." All are addressed to actor 
Robert Osborne in his role as host of Turner Classic Movies with most 
letters thanking him for various VHS and later DVD copies of films. 
Occasionally some interesting content: "I can't believe the number of 
movies Joan Blondell made. It seems she made one out of every two movies 
that were released before 1940." "I'm particularly grateful for 'London 
Can Take It,' as I want Jeff to understand what went on during wartime 
there." In a 2012 letter, Sondheim asks, "Is 'Act One' in the Turner 
Classic Movies Library? It's a Warner Bros. picture, so I thought I'd 
ask. James Lapine has been trying to track a copy down because he's 
writing a play based on the book." Lapine's play based on Moss Hart's 
autobiography of the same title premiered on Broadway in 2014. All 
letters with normal folds from mailing but otherwise Fine with the 
original envelopes. (#019994)        $1,000
