Robert Anderson - (1917-2009), playwright and screenwriter, two-time Academy Award nominee. ALS, 8/13/83 on personal letterhead. A charming and modest response to a father’s request for autographs for a young son. “You have never heard of me-and perhaps will never hear of me-but perhaps one day you might find my plays in the library- Tea and Symphony, I never Sang for My Father. etc.”
Tea and Symphony was a 1953 play adapted in 1956 for a movie of the same name starring Deborah and John Kerr. I Never Sang for My Father was his 1968 prize winner also adapted for film, the 1970 movie of the same name starring Melvyn Douglas, Gene Hackman and Dorothy Stickney.
Condition. Excellent and accompanied by the original envelope addressed in Anderson’s hand.
