Collection of correspondence, writings, and other papers growing out of Shawn's collaboration with Brooks on a collection of essays, Lulu in Hollywood (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1982), about her life as a film actress. Correspondence features a large production file of approximately 130 letters between Brooks, Shawn, and others, including Brooks's agent Robert Lantz, Robert Gottlieb and others at Knopf, and Jean-Pierre Sicre. There are typescript drafts (or clean copies) of over a dozen essays by Brooks, originally published from the mid 1950s through late 1970s, and copies of writings by others. Brooks appears to have submitted the essays to Shawn; several essays also have corrections by Shawn. Other papers include clippings, consisting chiefly of reviews of Lulu, material relating to production of the book, a photograph of the book cover, and printed ephemera
