I only became an actor because I wanted to make a film in Hollywood, and after thirty years in the business, I'm finally doing it", 1 A.L.s. from Trevor Howard and 2 T.L.s. from Dominique Lapierre, some creasing and folds, c.1980-95 (sm.qty.)
⁂ A fascinating archive principally relating to three unfulfilled projects: a theatrical celebration of T.S.Eliot's poetry which was to be set to music by Richard Dankworth (the idea was rejected by Valerie Eliot on the grounds that her husband disliked his works being set to music); a film adaptation of two novellas by Josef Škvorecký; and an adaptation of John Clellon Holmes' jazz novel The Horn.
