Description:Five – time Academy Award nominee. Won Best Actress for her performance in “The Song of Bernadette” (1943).
TNS – Typewritten Note Signed, 1971, on foldover notecard. Simply signed Jennifer. To entertainment lawyer Arnold Weissberg. Reads: Dearest Arnold: Thank you for the rave reviews and that extra – ordinary letter of recommendation to Norton Simon. Every little bit helps. A few more notes like yours and he may decide to keep me permanently. All my love and affection to you and your darling mother and Milton...Jennifer. The note may be rather tongue-in-cheek as Jones married Norton Simon, the multi – millionaire philanthropist art collector and corporate raider who had most famously made Hunt Foods into a major packaged – goods company. Accompanied by a 5″x7″ color reprint of the poster for Song of Bernadette.
Milton (Goldman) (1919 – 89) referred to in this note was a theatrical talent agent and the lifelong partner of Arnold Weissberg. Wonderful association.
