Ok, so the Wikipedia page for the Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter says Joan Didion used one, but my brief internet research shows these two photos, where she has some model of Royal (anyone, typewriter nerds?) and a Hermes Ambassador.

@drj It's a Royal KMG made from '49-52 and many of the design elements were done by Henry Dreyfuss who redesigned the Quiet De Luxe at the same time. I've got a couple of them: https://boffosocko.com/tag/royal-kmg/
