I just finished watching DEADWOOD, and I recommend it. It was the pilot, so there were tons of characters to introduce and I found some of it confusing. I think I'll stick with it for a while and see how it develops. The cast is interesting, but getting used to this Calamity Jane after Doris Day is difficult. When does she sing "Secret Love?"
To all of you who missed the chat, it was fun. BK is always the most sparkling host and he leads a lively discussion.
DR Panni, when I first met Miss Natwick, the first thing I told her was how much I loved her singing the "Elephant Song" in 70 GIRLS 70, and she laughed and told me I had to come for tea. She created Mme Arcati in the American premiere of BLITHE SPIRIT and IO can't imagine someone so different from Margaret Rutherford in the role. I believe I saw her recreate the role in the Coward-Bacall-Colbert broadcast of BLITHE SPIRIT, but I have no memory of it now. She lived on Park Avenue in the 60s, as I recall. I didn't see DANGEROUS LIAISONS until after she died, and she's so wonderful in the film.
I also befriended Brenda Forbes, who was in the Routledge-Price musical DARLING OF THE DAY singing "Panache," and she was also a great lady and sweet person. She wrote a bio that was friendly but not gossipy enough for all the work she did.
Good night, all!
Good night, all!
