Bowie's letter to first US fan posted
Posted by Mariano in blog, celebrity, David Bowie, letter writing, typecast

In the midst of one of the busiest weeks I've ever lived, I couldn't pass up the chance to share this curious little story. David Bowie, a music and film superstar took the time 42 years ago to personally respond to his first fan letter from the USA. More interesting is that the fan, then Sandra Dodd, now Sandra Adams, scanned and posted an image of the personally typed out letter on her blog.
The letter, was typed on Bowie's manager's personal stationary and edited and signed by the artist himself. If only someone could tell what kind of machine he used. To view it in full size, just click on it. Enjoy.

I write. For work, for grad-school, for me, and lately for you too. What about? Local art, world lit, breakfast, lunch or beer. Typewriters, bad writers, good writers, paper, pix and life. Enjoy!
