Description: Sybil Thorndike: An Illustrated Study of Dame Sybil's Work, With a List of Her Appearances on Stage and Screen Author: TREWIN, J.C. Title: Sybil Thorndike: An Illustrated Study of Dame Sybil's Work, With a List of Her Appearances on Stage and Screen Publication: London: Rockcliff, (1955) Description: Hardcover. First edition. Offsetting from clippings on one preliminary page, else near fine in price-clipped, very good dustwrapper with a couple of tears. Marian Seldes' copy, unsigned but with her note: "Hollywood Mar. 1964" on the front fly. Laid in is a postcard of Thorndike and Laurence Olivier in a production of *Coriolanus* at the Old Vic. Inscribed on the back of the photograph to Seldes: "Love to you darling on your birthday, Larry & Sybil." The entire inscription is in Olivier's hand except for "Sybil", which Thorndike has written. The card has a vertical crease that doesn't affect the inscription. Although they apparently never acted together, in Seldes' autobiography *The Bright Lights: A Theatre Life* she devotes the whole of Chapter 14 to her long friendship with Olivier.
