About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good +/Very Good. Inscribed by famous Hollywood gossip columnist to Hope Harding Davis, artist and one-time MGM screenriter, and daughter of NYTimes war correspondent Richard Harding Davis and Bessie McCoy, famous Ziegfield Follies showgirl. "For Hope Harding Davis, An old and dear friend of many years - (indecipherable).and his hide. With the best of all good things for now. Yours, Hedda Hopper". The middle of the quotation is unreadable but perhaps amounts to Hedda's supportive words to her friend Hope who had weathered a divorce a few years before; Hope committed suicide in 1976 at the age of 61. Price-clipped dustjacket with a few closed tears and slightly sunned spine.
