“Of the many congratulatory letters I received, I treasure on that actually come the week before I was given the Oscar:

‘Hello Cutie:-

Saw “Kitty” last night and must write this note to say “That’s It!” Yes-yes-a thousand times yes! You were superb Ginge-it was such a solid performance-the kind one seldom sees on stage or screen and it should bring you the highest honors anyone can win!!

Hope to see you soon-

As ever your-

Fred’

“I can never emphasize enough how important clothing was to me. Fred could wear white tie and tails over and over, but I had to have different dresses and they had to be made for dancing.”
