The waitress had just set down my food, the vegetarian combination, and my husband’s Doro Wat when she looked at my daughter and told her, “I’ll be right back with your lamb.”  My child’s eyes grew large and filled with tears. “I told you I don’t eat anything cute!” It’s true.  My daughter does not [...]

Carol Burnett was on the Leonard Lopate show today.  She talked about coming to New York and living at The Rehearsal Club, the real life role model for the boarding house in the movie “Stage Door”.  Of course it no longer existed by the time I was an aspiring actress.  I didn’t come to New [...]

I am still struggling with the production process and how it all went down, how Kendall was disappointed with my work and I was so upset that I shook.

Splash Montana rounded out the afternoon [...]

8/17/09 I stopped by the theatre to pick up my reunion t-shirt. Then I walked along Electric Avenue and looked at the shops, some that were there when I was a playhouse actor and most that were not.  In the gift shop next to the theatre I heard some people talking about JK Simmons and [...]

Sunday 8/16/09 We got lost on the way to the softball game because it wasn’t where I thought it would be.  It wasn’t where we played against the town when I was a company member.  The game was fun to watch.  There was beer and clowning and the old guys who were in the playhouse [...]
