R.M.S. TITANIC: Previously unseen letter, dated 5th May 1938 on United Artists Studio Corporation, Hollywood notepaper to Titanic First-Class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli, personal secretary to Lady Lucile Duff Gordon from Ann Fielder, actress.
She mentioned, "Like you, I still have moments of sadness about Lady Duff Gordon and continue to sing her praises on every occasion when people talk about these marvellous designers in Hollywood". She further added, "They don't design- they just steal from one another and magazines, etc. Some day before long I am going to write a story about a real dress designer - and one that I admired from the bottom of my heart". She also wrote, "Just had dinner with Bette Davis - read the awful script they wanted her to accept. I quite agree with her for rejecting it. She is also very tired.
Blinkie."
