OTHER PEOPLE'S REJECTION LETTERS

Written by Lee King

This is effectively the Dear John letter hall of fame. Within these covers, the dreams and hopes of many celebs including Andy Warhol and Jimi Hendrix are shattered in the same way most of us have suffered. Here you will find heated text messages, nasty rejection emails from would be bosses, handwritten notes from the hand of former lovers, crayon scrawls, and surprising dismissives from the like of the pope, Disney, and Playboy. This is a great read courtesy of Life.com’s editor in chief Bill Shapiro, who has searched the hard drives, desk drawers and government files across America. And well worth it was too.
