In 1977, the actress writes a university theatre department requesting a personal appearance and presentation to a class. Signed 'Prissy - Butterfly McQueen.' With a few additional words on the letter in her hand, and [with] an envelope addressed by her in 1957, as well as publicity photograph with a facsimile signature. In fine condition; in a custom quarter-leather clamshell box. It is poignant and sad that she could never escape her early success as Prissy, Scarlett O'Hara's maid, in Gone With The Wind, and her defining line on 'birthin' babies.' while she objected to this and other stereotypical roles, it's what she had to live on.
