Highly scarce handwritten signed note on opposite sides of a 3x5-inch tan card, sent to fellow actor and inveterate collector Peter Hansen in the 1960s.  In very good condition, with the slightest hint of toning, and suitable for matting.  Note that the image of the actress shown here alongside the piece is provided for reference only and is not included with the autograph.  Drop-dead-gorgeous Italian leading lady Monica Vitti is best remembered for her numerous collaborations with director Michelangelo Antonioni during the early 1960s, including L'Avventura (1960), La Notte (1961), L'Eclisse (1962), and Deserto Rosso (1964).  She went on to star in a long string of comedies directed by Mario Monicelli.
