Santa Monica, California, October 21st, 1959., 1959. Fine. - Over 250 words typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 7-1/4 inch wide "The Oceana Apartment Hotel" stationery. Stan Laurel responds to his friend "Lee" who has written him about her 13 year old friend, the teen rock & traditional pop singer Dodie Stevens who played opposite Fabian in "Hound-Dog Man" released that same year: "Am afraid your friend Dodie Stevens and her family were mistaken in seeing me at the Fox studio last month - I haven't been there for years!". He goes on to write that he's not seen Dodie's movie "as you know, the only films I see now are on TV." "I shall be pleased to meet Dody [sic] and her Dad with you any time convenient, but I doubt if I could be of much help to them in any way, especially now that she has proved successful in her line." He mentions the late life marriages of such celebrities as Charles Coburn and Monte Blue and the shock of Errol Flynn's death, and concludes that he "Shall be pleased to hear from you around Thanksgiving & arrange a date". Signed in full "Stan Laurel". Folded for mailing, else near fine. Part of the comedy duo Laurel and Hardy, the English comic actor, director and writer Stan Laurel (1890-1965) appeared in over 100 films with his comedy partner Oliver Hardy. Laurel was awarded an Academy Honorary Award in 1961 for his pioneering work in comedy. The American rock & pop singer Dodie Stevens (born in 1946) had a breakthrough hit with her 1959 song "Pink Shoe Laces" at the age of 13. In that same year she appeared and sang in the musical comedy drama "Hound-Dog Man" starring Fabian.
