Lifting the Lid on a Treasure Chest

\”During a rehearsal for \”A Streetcar Named Desire\” at the Barrymore Theater in New York more than half a century ago Marlon Brando dropped his address book.\”

\”I beg you return this,\” he had written inside the cover. \”I lost eight others already and if I lose this, I\’ll just drop dead\”

\”The finder, however, did not return it. Today it is part of a collection of literary and cultural treasures here at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, part of the University of Texas. (from The New York Times)
