“My Fair Lady” Script Copy from Story Library COA Jerry Lewis Provenance

This item is coming to you directly from the estate of Jerry Lewis’ Personal Assistant, Penny Rice.  For over 40 years, she tended to all of Jerry Lewis’ needs.  Finally, she severed ties with Jerry Lewis, and with that, she retained many of her and Jerry’s personal letters, audio tapes, jewelry, books, scripts, and photos.  These items have never been offered on the market but have been kept in the personal collection of Penny Rice for all these years.  Penny Rice passed away, and her daughter had a caretaker.  He helped Penny’s daughter move to Ohio, and she left all the Jerry Lewis Estate to the caretaker.

A very rare script to get your hands on.  Jerry was using this script for inspiration for his other projects.  He checked this script out fro the Warner Bros. Story Library.  This is a copy of the Final working script used on the My Fair Lady set in 1963 with Audrey Hepburn.  The script as indicated on the front cover, it was supposed to have been returned.  Obviously, the king of comedy hung onto it.  So this script was touched, used and read by Jerry Lewis.
