Oh... And a bit of sad news from the entertainment world...

Barney Martin, the original "Mr. Cellophane", and Seinfeld's Father, Morty, has passed away.

I knew Barney Martin when he was doing WOMAN OF THE YEAR. He was a very sweet man. I'm sorry to hear that.

Anyone over heard of SMIKE the musical? Based on the character from Nicholas Nickleby. I saw the LP the other day at Footlight and it looked kinda crazy.

DRRodzinski, if I remember correctly, I used to buy copies of the SMIKE vocal score for The Drama Book Shop. I'll see if I own one.

So just what is this KELLY musical? I can't find any info about it on the web.

Would someone do a page 6 dance? I'm still reading page 5.

DRRodzinski, KELLY was about a man who jumped from the Brooklyn Bridge and lived. I believe William Goldman writes about it in THE SEASON. The problem about the show, as I recall, is that they couldn't show the Big Moment of the jump.

I have a friend here in Olympia (Joe), whose father was friends with Barney Martin. Joe grew up knowing him, too. A couple of years ago, he played Amos in a local production of Chicago. I haven't spoken with Joe in a while. I'll have to find out if he knows. $:-\$

Yes, Francks seems to have worked steadily, especially in animation voiceovers. Also in the TV version of La Femme Nikita. Coppola says they didn't get along at all and that he seemed to have a chip on his shoulder, but in retrospect Coppola thinks he was just "being" Woody. I think that's a nice way to spin it.

BAMBOOZLE!

I don't know. Call me weird, but do we need dvd bonuses to hear who liked who, or what who thought of who!
Did they also get Mr Francks to say that he thought Mr Coppola was a pompous director and that Miss Clark had bad breath???

Mr Coppola has it easy since we all know Mr Francks never made it big!
Talk about CLASS! -- a pet subject of mine!

Ahhh, Hollywood!

I found this a few days ago: Click HERE, then click the link that is in the words "... a video ...." in the first sentence. When I first found it, I was literally ROTFLMAO!! (the computer security set up at my work doesn't allow .wmv files to be played, so I hope it works for everyone else! My home computer plays it just fine.

)

And THAT can be today's Page 6 Dance!!

Sorry DR George but my computer said it was NOT FOUND.

Here is a dance for you!

I think I better check my room for hidden cameras. Wouldn't want to end up doing my special choreography on line!

Danise · « **Reply #161 on:** March 24, 2005, 02:32:45 PM »

I wanted to check and see if you guys know about this:

And finely the same view as from the camera.

BAMBOOZLE!

Just back from lunching with my pal David Wechter, who's just finished shooting his fourth season of Cowboy U.

He is a better man than I, Gunga Din.

I had penne pasta with ground turkey. It was very cheesy, and not too bad. I was a good boy and didn't finish the entire rather large portion.

Now I'm logey.

BK, Book Baron down in Fullerton is having a "Lost Our Lease" sale. Everything including the fixtures must go. Beginning March 25, all books are 50% off. During April, all books 6o% or more! This may merit investigation!

Danise · « **Reply #167 on:** March 24, 2005, 02:59:05 PM »

Well, I tracked that camera down!

Ron I remember Judith Christ. For the most part I enjoyed her reviews. Thanks for the interesting story.

Danise I’m enjoying your NY pictures and stories.

We have out of town company arriving soon and I need to get ready. I just washed my hair and I think I got shampoo in my right eye because it is burning, making it difficult to read.

I will try and return later.

Don Francks seems to be clinging to that hippie lifestyle.

Good Evening!

Practice makes... more practice! -I found that I'm so used to playing the other book, that when I was going through this "new" one, I kept waiting for the entrance cues (on the CD), but realized that I was the one now playing those cues. Like I said, Practice makes more practice! I should be fine after one more read-thru. The tricky part will be the "feet" - pedaling and patch-changing and volume, and that I will take care of during the sound check next Tuesday at the Orpheum in Memphis, TN - and the four hours after sound check before the show begins.

DR Danise - A few years ago, Steve and I would look up video cameras that were set up in cities where I was going on tour. Then, schedules permitting, I would go to said place, and Steve would "take a picture" of me on the web cam. I have pics of me in the old - and haunted - library in Evansville, IN. I have a couple of me in Times Square - there are a couple of them around there. The one by the TGIF's was always the easiest to get on. I have one of me on the banks of the Mississippi in Rock Island, IL. Etc., etc., etc.

It was such fun. And it was a great way to "see" each other while I was on the road.

*I would also travel with my own webcam on my laptop so that we could say, "Goodnight" to each other in person.

...And I do believe there are still two copies - old and a bit browsing-worn - sitting on the shelf of the Drama Book Shop. -It's always amazed me some of the interesting inventory that can stay on a bookshelf for years. I remember the SMIKE scores from the old location.

If Jose comes ever comes to your neigborhood, be prepared to find out about restaurants he has found in a day that you never knew about in four years of living there!

I tend to have a knack for doing that. Must be my "sixth sense".

OK...

Time to run to the train so that I can get to the Clurman... Running a little late... oops...

I'm gonna see the 10:00 show of SHOCKHEADED PETER tonight, so...

Laters...

DR JoseSPiano: Did you ever see the movie "The Boys From Brazil"? If so, you'll remember the boy who played all the Hitler clones. His name is Jeremy Black, and he is a "working" actor in NYC.

Here's a URL...don't know if his type of theater interests you:
