Celebrities, Hmmm . . .

Most fun: Elaine Stritch, Jim Dale, Stockard Channing, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Ilka Chase, Twiggy

Not fun: Kiri Te Kanawa, F. Murray Abraham

You didn't like Murray Abraham?

I met him when he was playing Al Capone in the film I wrote.  He seemed like a nice guy.  We spoke on the phone a few times after that.

Awful man.  He was either rude and insulting to the Drama Book Shop employees or overly nice.  So were Tom Hulce, Jeff Daniels and Fran Liebowitz.  Tovah Feldshuh could be unpleasant at Barnes & Noble.

Also fun: Madeleine Kahn, Ann Meara, Jerry Stiller, Hume Cronyn, Lynn Redgrave, Milton Berle, and composer Johnny Green, whom I loved.

I knew Johnny Green through my client, Paul Francis Webster, who wrote the lyrics for the title song of RAINTREE COUNTY.  I also found him to be very pleasant.

I met Milton Berle when I accompanied client Abe Vigoda to a Friar's Club roast.  He was..."Milton Berle".

With regard to Murray Abraham, I certainly don't know what was going on at the time, but I can understand how somebody might lose their patience with a bookstore clerk.

The fact that somebody works in a bookstore does not mean they are well read.

I didn't lose my temper and wasn't rude, but I recall two different instances where I was in a bookstore, asked the clerk for a title, and they replied: "Do you have an author?"

The books were DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE and OTHELLO.

I guess they don't teach basic literature in school any longer.  They just teach to the test.

I find this funny, but surely you do not put DR elmore in the class of uneducated book sellers.

Sorry DR Druxy but I apparently read it the same way DR elmore did, not that I believed is was what you meant to say.

Me too.  There's no excuse for him to be rude.

Thunderstorms in the DC area tonight.

[KevinH]

While in New York, I saw "The Humans."  I enjoyed it very much.  Jayne Houdyshell is just fantastic!

[KevinH]

I also really enjoyed "Cagney."  Robert Creighton is wonderful in the title role.

[KevinH]

Nice photo, DR Ginny!

[KevinH]

Break a leg vibes for BK and company!  I would love to see Hayley Mills and Richard Sherman's duet!

[George]

And now, I'm off.  I'm going to do a little shopping before I go home, and then I'm going home.

Be back later.

[John G.]

Vibes for BK and co. tonight.

[John G.]

Thank you, DR Jeanne. Words of advice: never book a hotel/motel room last minute through Expedia.com.

[John G.]

Two separate motels I booked rooms in didn't have the reservations or a room when I showed up. After driving 600 or so miles, I was not happy. Extremely not happy.

Absolutely not...and I said that.

[John G.]

I wonder how the show's going. And I hope there will be videos.

Gratuitous post No. 102.

I didn't say he was rude, just that it sounded different than he intended it.

I have heard of this happening.  Our missing reservation in Krakow was not through Expedia.

I also really enjoyed "Cagney."  Robert Creighton is wonderful in the title role.

Bobby Creighton is such a wonderful person! I love him.  Every time his Irish brogue pops up on the "Paint Your Wagon" CD, I break into a huge smile.

Another celebrities I really liked working with:  Keith Carradine, John Turturro, and Zoe Wanamaker.

[John G.]

The new Ben-Hur is only two hours long. Huh? Is it just the chariot race?

[Jeanne]

Ron's left. When you return, Ron, will you let us know how you're feeling?

Hope to hear you're on the mend.

Am feeling much better.  Have slept through the last two nights in my bed.  Happily, I was able to sleep on both "sides" last night without resorting to coughing spasms.   The next step will be to resume using my C-Pap.  Last night, I tried but it was "no go". My breathing patterns just haven't gotten back to normal, but I'm coping rather well.

Thanks for asking.

Very glad to hear this. Yes, it often takes a while to get back to 100%, but you sound like you've come a long way. Vibes for continued progress.

[Jeanne]

I've also been watching AGATHA RAISIN. I like Ashley Jensen, who plays Agatha. She was wonderful in UGLY BETTY.  I'm so-so about AR. I suspect the producers felt they needed to soften the lead character. Even with AJ's charm, I find the character not very likeable.

We only found the first 4 episodes.  Agatha gets points for trying

They're releasing a new episode each Monday during August, so there should be a total of six.

Maddening. I'd also be upset. I hope the bird told them off.

[Jeanne]

Where's TCB?

[Jeanne]

Maybe he's recovering from his vacation.

[Jeanne]

Good night.

Thanks.  We were thinking about canceling Acorn but can'take now.  We have to keep watching A PLACE TO CALL HOME.  Thank you very much for suggesting we watch it.

[Jane]

Yes, it is addictive.  We watched 2 episodes tonight.

[vixmom]

Back to work today in by 8 out by 10:25

[vixmom]

Everyone is royally ticked off at the coworker on vacation as she left us with a mess

[vixmom]

Continued vibes for Ron

[vixmom]

Bk I am so happy you had this meeting" now if you can get DR Laura and I in a room with Donny Osmond....

[TCB]

Good evening!
