Haines His Way

DR George - Finally! The female lead in a musical! Thank you!

DG (Dear Goddess) Jane - Yes, things have changed in Hungary. The Russians no longer run the show - including Fiddler. It's still (perhaps even more so) an anti-Semitic country.

I must eat now. Came home to a call from my agent. He sounded cheerful, which is always a good sign. There may be some good things coming up. (Nothing is certain - which means absolutely nothing may happen. But it's nice to have new and interesting possibilities.) Please send lots of good vibes my way.

I’ve told the stories a few times on the other board so I won’t repeat them all again but I’ll always have fond memories of doing Fiddler because POTO was playing next door in the same theater I’m going to see JC:SS on Sunday.   The one stage I can say I've seen from both sides of orchestra pit.

9:30.  Time for bed.

Have a good evening all!

Does anybody else think it sounds funny to say "i had meetings with the bullshit people."

Oh and what is "the pajama party"?

Ok.
Is Yma Sumac really Amy Camus from Brooklyn?

Almost Blitzed by another TCB response.
Thanks George for your casting coup. At least I won't need to act.
DR Jane. So much happened when I was at the Elvis movie. Congratulations and welcome.

Michael, those short naps are very beneficial.

I'll agree to George's HHW Fiddler list...

as long as I get to play the Rebbe

Do you not recall the rebbe-eating-matzah-ball-soup scene?

Speaking of Song of the South, tvguide.com has a feature called FlickChick and this week (it's new every Thursday) she answered this question:

Question: Could you please tell me what happened to Bobby Driscoll and how and when he died? I know this occurred at a young age, but I don't know the details. Also, I used to go to school with a young actress named Luana Patten, who worked for Walt Disney and worked with Driscoll in Song of the South and So Dear to My Heart. Could you tell me what happened to her and where she's living today? — Lynn

Flickchick: Born on March 3, 1937, Bobby Driscoll was barely 31 when he died in New York City on March 30, 1968. Children found his body in an abandoned tenement building on East 10th Street between Avenues B & C; because no one identified the body, Driscoll was buried in an unmarked pauper's grave on Hart Island. A fingerprint check in 1969 finally put a name to the corpse. The cause of death was heart attack, but his long history of alcohol and drug abuse was a contributing factor. Driscoll, who supplied the voice of Peter Pan in Disney's 1953 animated version of the classic children's story, was a hugely popular child star who received a special Oscar in 1949 for his role in the noir thriller The Window (1949). He was 12 when he went home with the miniature statuette that proclaimed him "the outstanding juvenile actor of 1949." A cute child who was widely praised for his professionalism and pleasant personality, Driscoll matured into an awkward adolescent and had difficulty finding work. His 1956 marriage produced three children, but ended in divorce. The embittered Driscoll was widely quoted as saying that he was "carried [into Hollywood] on a velvet pillow and dumped into a garbage can."

Sadly, actress Luana Patten is also deceased; she succumbed to respiratory failure in 1996 at the age of 57. Patten was living in Long Beach, Calif., where she was born and raised. Patten made her movie debut in Song of the South (1946), had a brief but successful career as a child actress, then took a break from movies and returned as a teenager. She married actor John Smith, whose credits included a string of Western movies and the TV series Cimarron City and Laramie, in 1960 and cut back on acting, retiring from the business not long after their union ended in 1964.

Or is it two?
