I liked Miles in Milos Forman's HAIR. (Chapin, not Sylvia).

She was indeed, and I adored her. I once mentioned that I had been working on GIRL CRAZY with John Mauceri, and Betty stiffened and said. "John Mauceri thinks he invented Leonard Bernstein."

Hahahahahah.

Who DID invent Leonard Bernstein?

I am watching MONSTER ON THE CAMPUS.

Troy Donahue with that weird haircut is almost as scary as the titular creature.

Are the Emmys broadcast live on the West Coast (starting at 5 p.m.) or are they tape delayed?

I don't want to give away any secrets or surprises if I do running commentary throughout.

Championship Wrestling aka Mythologies by the Mark Morris Dance Company. Music by Herschel Garfein.

Garfein also did the libretto and lyrics for a opera version of ELMER GANTRY that was to have its premiere last February. Anyone know anything about it?

I watch a large amount of network television (I happen to think the dramas on now are among the best, most creative ever done for television), so I will be glued to the Emmys.

The Emmys have a bad track record with rewarding deserving shows and those connected with them, but I watch anyway.

Got to have something to bitch about.

Tonight, I'm pulling for:

Glenn Close as Outstanding Dramatic Actress in THE SHIELD,
Hugh Laurie as Outstanding Dramatic Actor in HOUSE, and Tony Shalhoub as Outstanding Comedy Actor in MONK.

I would like Marcia Cross to win for COmedy Actress but I suspect it's going to go to Teri Hatcher.

I'd like to see either LOST or '24' win as Outstanding Dramatic Series. LOST has a chance. I suspect THE WEST WING will win if LOST doesn't. For comedy, I'll go with DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES.

I am hoping voters don't get all sentimental and vote EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND a bunch of awards since it's the last year it's eligible. I NEVER LOVED RAYMOND. I didn't even like it.

OK. I'm off for a bit and then I'll be back around 8, my time.

What time DO the Emmy's air here?

We must have complete reports from everyone who is watching.

I just tried to watch The Far Horizons with Chuck Heston and Fred MacMurray, but I finally gave up - turgid and boring in extremis.

DRFJL, I have no idea what Miles is doing these days. He may be acting still. i've only seen him in the horror flic FUNHOUSE, as I recall. I've only met him once. That was at least 7 years ago while I was still at The Drama Book Shop.

He was also in the classic movie Howard the Duck.

He also wrote 88 keys--The Making of a Steinway Piano" and is an expert on Steinway piano making.

His father is former Metropolitan Opera General Manager

and I think he is doing stand up

Sunday evening greetings!

DH Richard and I spent a lovely afternoon in downtown Dayton attending an arts showcase at both the Victoria Theatre and the Schuster Center for the Performing Arts. It was put on by CultureWorks, the arts consortium, with which I do a lot of nonprofit programming. There was a solid program at each venue in 20-minute timeslots. We saw:

At the Victoria: Dayton Contemporary Dance Co., Dayton Ballet, Human Race Theatre Co. (excerpts from Seussical)

At the Schuster: A trumpet/bass/percussion trio from Dayton Philharmonic, a baritone and a soprano from Dayton Opera, Grupo Caribe (a Puerto Rican dance ensemble), and Rhythm in Shoes.

It was a wonderful afternoon of free entertainment.

I know Sylvia Miles is an actress, and if I have seen her it was quite by accident, otherwise I don't know from her.

Vera Miles was married to B movie actor Keith Larsen and to Tarzan actor Gordon Scott...if nothing else, she has good taste in men.

TOD: Reversi (AKA Othello). I am completely and unabashedly addicted. A most excellent game that can be quite counter-intuitive.

I almost opened for Miles Davis here in Portland in around 1980 or 1981 or so. My parents even put up some of the money to bring him here (think that had anything to do with it? LOL). It was right after he married Cicely Tyson and he got phlebitis or some other leg ailment and cancelled.

I don't think the Emmy's begin until 8pm on the west coast...likely I am gonna hit the hay early tonight so won't see most of it. I did want to stay up and watch, but I am already sleepy!

JMK · « **Reply #198 on:** September 18, 2005, 04:35:19 PM »

And let's not forget the lovely Sarah Miles of Ryan's Daughter semi-fame.

Soon I will be toddling off to perform in a Katrina Benefit here with a rather humongous gospel choir. We will be doing some nice stuff, including an arrangement I introduced to the choir, Mark Hayes' truly stunning setting of "Amazing Grace" (to the tune of "The Water is Wide"), entitled "Grace." I've done it with various choirs for years and years and it never fails to deeply move audiences. It was done at the National Cathedral as part of the first September 11th memorial services.

A cute miles-related joke (courtesy of Henny Youngman's Dial-a-Joke):

I go to the doctor for a checkup, he tells me to run two miles every day, I call him a week later: "Hey doc, what do I do, I'm fourteen miles from home!"

Good Evening!

Back from dinner with DR Jason. We headed over to John's Pizza. Good pizza. Spotty service, but still good pizza. DR Jason is probably at the of the intermission of The Lion King right now, and I'm watching the Emmy's with my roomies.

Life in the Big Apple.

Opening number of the Emmys ranged from dull to hideous rap by the Black Eyed Peas. At one point, the rapper rhymed "lots" and "Foxx." Pathetic. And that's GOOD rap, I suspect.

Ellen's moinologue was off tonight. A couple of funny quips but nothing fall down hilarious.

First award presented by the desperate housewives who looked from weird (Teri Hatcher) to glamorous (Felicity Huffman).
The wunner was no surprise.

Matt H. · « **Reply #205 on:** September 18, 2005, 05:22:30 PM »

Kyra Sedgewick looked very glamorous; Keifer Sutherland looked wonderful.

Supporting Actor in a drama was no surprise.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #206 on:** September 18, 2005, 05:22:57 PM »

...And both DR Jason and I happened to spot a couple of performers in The Producers. -John's Pizza is next door to the St. James. I happened to spot Brad Oscar taking a brief break on the sidewalk when I walked by, and Jason happened to spot the current Frank Liebkind. Both were still in costume. And they were in the middle of the show.

I'm watching the Emmys, but not sure why, I really don't watch many TV shows. I quit watching all the drama shows when they started making the prosecutors and cops heros, gag me...now that's really not reality tv!
