The attached was described by seller as costume sketches by Edith Head for the movie "Cinderfella" starring Jerry Lewis.
Although this is not signed by Edith Head, the sketches and notes seem consistent with other examples available online. However, perhaps even more intriguing, the notes and "stars" in red pen were attributed to Jerry Lewis. I have found authentic handwritten notes online which have specific elements that match up well (e.g., "K", "ee", etc.).
I believe this is a working sketch board for costume design for Cinderfella by Edith Head including handwritten notes from Jerry Lewis. However, since neither signed the item, wondering about "attribution" and authenticity. POVs appreciated.

Attaching some references I used for comparison.
Cinderfella costume sketches for "FELLA" sold in icollector auction on July 31, 2011 (link).
Jerry Lewis handwritten letter (link). Compare "K" in "know" in letter to "Keep" in sketch and "ee" in "Sweetheart" in letter to "Keep" and "green" in sketch.
Pretty confident about the Edith Head sketches but hoping to find a Jerry Lewis expert who can help with the attribution of the notes in red pen.
