Catherine Boyle Eurovision Song Contest 1957 TV Times Hand Signed Letter

CHAU1852  A vintage hand signed letter from historic actress Catherine Boyle sent from her home address on her official 1950s headed paper filled with content (please enlarge and view both sides all written by hand from the actress).  She is best known as presenting the Eurovision Song Contest a record four times in 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1974.  She was the weekly agony aunt for TV Times and has a wealth of other TV and film appearances too.  She has hand signed the souvenir from the Kensington Home even with her phone number on it from 1957 and bar centrally folded where originally posted (which is how I will send) it is pristine condition.

Caterina Irene Elena Maria Boyle, Lady Saunders (née Imperiali dei Principi di Francavilla; 29 May 1926 – 20 March 2018), usually known as Katie Boyle, was an Italian-born British actress, writer, radio announcer and television personality. She became best known for presenting the Eurovision Song Contest on a record four occasions: in 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1974; the first three in London and the last in Brighton, England. She was also an agony aunt (an advice columnist), answering problems that had been posted by readers of the TVTimes.

Boyle was an on-screen continuity announcer for the BBC in the 1950s. A decade later she became a television personality, regularly appearing on panel games and programmes such as What's My Line?, Juke Box Jury and the medical game show Lance That Boyle, on which she appeared with comedian Lance Percival.[4][5] Boyle was the presenter for the 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1974 Eurovision Song Contests (all of which were hosted in the UK), making her the person who presented the most editions of the contest.[6] She hosted the 1974 contest wearing no underwear; it had been cut off from under her satin dress moments before the broadcast began
