Description

Mama Jean Harlow Handwritten Letter. Jean Harlow's mother for whom she was named after and was affectionately known as "Mama Jean," usually autographed her daughter's photos and she also responded to her fan mail for her, though such correspondence rarely surfaces. This is one such letter, handwritten in black ink on hotel stationery and postmarked June 19, 1933. It reads in part: "I hope you will see my last picture 'Hold Your Man' and I am sure you will like it - we have an excellent cast." An unusual and uncommon item, the letter is in Excellent condition with two horizontal fold creases and only very light discoloration, and the envelope is in Very Good condition with mild tanning and wear, torn open on one end.
