#note from fred

Ginger Rogers receiving the Oscar for her performance in the lead role of "Kitty Foyle" (1940).

Among the many letters that Rogers received for her work in the film, this was the one that she treasured the most:

"Hello Cutie--

Saw 'Kitty' last night and must write this note to say 'That's it!' Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! You were superb, Ginge--it was such a solid performance--the kind one seldom sees on stage or screen and it should bring you the highest honors anyone can win!!

Hope to see you soon,

As ever your, Fred (Astaire)."
