Paintings, drawings, sketches, writings, correspondence, personal papers, diaries and notebooks, scrapbooks, and documents relating to the acting career of Jenny Hecht (prompt books, notes, publicity, reviews, etc.) Includes information about roles performed when Jenny was still a child (such as Midsummer, Simone, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Concerning a Woman of Sin), as well as her involvement as an adult actor in The Living Theatre. Artwork ranges from her drawings and paintings she did as a child, to a notebook of beautiful drawings of windows she drew while travelling around Europe, to her homemade deck of Tarot cards, which she consulted daily. Correspondence is from fellow actors and friends of her parents', as well as her friends Carol Fegte and Gerry Jedd (who died in 1962.) All of the scrapbooks were compiled by Jenny except the first, which is a keepsake scrapbook about Jenny's birth, filled with congratulatory letters, family photographs, and original poetry by both Ben Hecht and Carl Sandburg.
