Stan Laurel typed letter signed, responding to a fan's questions about the beloved Laurel & Hardy films. Dated 8 March 1962, Laurel writes on stationery from the Oceana Hotel, where he lived, in part, ''...Yes, I heard that Henry Calvin was chosen for Hardy's voice in the cartoon series. I've seen him several times on TV in the 'ZORRO' series (Disney) but have never met him personally, he resembles Hardy very much on the screen. / I do'nt know what happened to the Gleason-Carney project That David Susskind intended to produce (the L&H Story)...No, Hardy & I never had our hand or footprints in the lobby of Grauman's Chinese Theatre, we were never considered of much importance in Hollywood...Re the costumes we wore in our films, we used whatever was available in the wardrobe dept. preferably outdated clothes, old fashioned Wing Collar etc. occasionally we wore normal street suits, but of course always retained our trade mark - the derbies...[signed] Stan Laurel''. Letter measures 7.25'' x 10.5'', with original mailing envelope. Very good to near fine condition.
