So now that youse guys sent me to the Tonys archive, can someone tell me how Tom Bosely won best supporting actor in a musical for Fiorello! in 1960? Who, I ask, was the star?

And why was Robert Morse nominated in 1959 for best supporting (drama) for Say Darling, which was a musical?

And while we're on the subject, why were Blake Edwards and the rest of Victor Victoria egregiously overlooked ?

Tom Bosley and Tammy Grimes won for supporting roles despite playing the title roles because their names where billed below the title of the show.

Say Darling was considered a play with songs so that is why Robert Morse was nominated for playing Hal Prince in Say Darling

SOMEONE BEAT ME TO IT

I should have posted this earlier, before 8:00pm on the east coast. Can anyone record a movie for me on the WB channel? A DVD is even better since my VCR is in my bedroom and I won’t be watching anything in there for awhile. The exciting movie I want to see is SAMANTHA: AN AMERICAN GIRL HOLIDAY.

DR Jane - Did you go to American Girl Place while you were in NYC? There's also one in Chicago.

If not, something to add to your list for next time!

Jose I walked past it but didn't have time to go in.

DR Jane - If you're interested, here's a link to the review of "Samantha" from the Washington Post. It's a positive review, but there's an extra "twist" to it too.

Interesting that the official Tony Award site lists Russell Nype as the only winner that year. And didn't realize that all 4 musical acting categories only had 2 nominees! They could have fleshed it out

I am off to the Renberg Theatre at the Gay & Lesbian Center of Los Angeles for a performance by Miss Margaret Cho. Miss Cho frequently uses this 400 seat venue to work through material she subsequently uses on her tours around the U.S. of A. and beyond, usually performed in much larger venues.

Report later.

Food for thought:

Long before Ms. Zet-Jones and Ms. Zellwegger, possibly sometime in the 1980s, wouldn't Velma Kelly and Roxie Hart have been ideal roles for the teaming of Leslie Ann Warren and Goldie Hawn?

(Gee, can anyone tell that I finally got around to a certain Disney film?)

Jane · « **Reply #129 on:** November 23, 2004, 06:26:34 PM »

td I think you are right.

Jose I couldn't get into the site. I will try later-thanks.

Well, I'm back from DC! And a splendid visit it was. I saw all my friends in the Music Division, got most of my research finished (they couldn't find a couple of orchestra parts so they'll be copied and sento to me next week), had a lovely dinner with musical director John Kalbfleisch, and developed a crush on a music librarian. All in all, a successful trip.

Sit-coms: Chuckles the Clown's death on MARY TYLER MOORE
William holden on I LOVE LUCY
Tallulah Bankhead vs Desilu
All Nanny episodes
All Seinfeld episodes, but especially the puffy shirt, the Bette Midler musical, and any with Estelle Harris

REDHEAD: I did a revival of this at Goodspeed, 1998, and it's really a second-rate show; I kept wishing that director Chris Ashley had looked at earlier scripts because I suspect there may have bee na better mystery when the show was written for Bea Lillie. There were so many songs and dances for Verdon that she later in the run and tour dropped numbers. The original souvenir booklet, however, shows that the musical was the epitome of Victorian chic in scene and costume design, and I'd bet that Fosse's fluid staging (the underscoring never stops and I'm sure it was there to keep a rhythmic pulse under the movement) was another reason for its rave reviews. Alas, there was little chic or magic at Goodspeed.

Welcome back to NYC, DR elmore! And so glad to hear you were able to have dinner with Jon K.!

As an aside... When Jon went to Germant a few years ago, he would always run into some confusion when making restaurant reservations. "Sir, yes, we do serve Kalbfleisch." "No, no, no.. my name last name is Kalbfleisch." -Kalbfleisch = Veal in Deutschland.

[...Much to to like in John Barrowman. And that said, I just discovered he has a solo Cole Porter CD out. There goes more of my money!...

You might want to hold onto your money. The Porter collection lacks a certain zing. In fact, it goes plonk where it should go proinginging. I don't blame barrowman, I blame his team. Disappointing.

Or maybe I'm just spoiled by BK's work in the field.

Nah.

Jane, has anyone said that they'd be able to record this for you? My sister's boyfriend has a DVD recorder hooked up to his TV. I called to ask if he could do it (I have a bunch of blank DVDs) but he hasn't called back yet. However, it's also going to be rebroadcast on Thursday at 8:00 p.m., so if it doesn't happen tonight, he might be able to on Thursday...unless someone can record it for you tonight.

Jane · « **Reply #136 on:** November 23, 2004, 07:30:18 PM »

Thank you George. No one has offered so far. It doesn't help it has been a quiet night here. I should have checked if it would be on again and appreciate your doing so.

George · « **Reply #137 on:** November 23, 2004, 07:32:17 PM »

I just got a call from Larry, my sister's boyfriend and he said that he can do it. So, no problem!

Jane · « **Reply #138 on:** November 23, 2004, 07:40:36 PM »

Great. Isn't it wonderful your sister has such a nice boyfriend? Please tell him thank you from me.

'night.

Who does BK know at Amazon? My review has been posted in less than an hour after I sent it. Usually it takes 24 hours.

I saw Redhead in New York when I was a kid. I don't remember much about it, other than that I thought it was funny and scary. And I certainly remember the collective gasp when the villain was revealed sitting in the box seats.

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #141 on:** November 23, 2004, 08:23:27 PM »

DR Danise, have you ever visited the official Rankin-Bass site? A lot of info about Rudolph, Frosty, Nestor and other shows there.

Matt H. · « **Reply #142 on:** November 23, 2004, 08:27:31 PM »

Yes, I was well aware that the Tony Award site listed only Russell Nype, but as I said earlier, after the controversy of conflicting information from different books (and from an old World Book Yearbook for 1960 which cited two winners), Ken Mandelbaum researched it by going straight to Russell Nype who said that both of them won. Peter Filichia also validated that information in his liner notes.

I watched the first hour of WALK ON THE WILD SIDE tonight. The credits were in such terrible shape with dirt and debris, huge scratches and lines all over the place that I thought it was going to be a hideous transfer. Turned out once the credits were over, the picture became quite sharp and well done - anamorphic, too.

Hello, DRs. I was supposed to have a very productive evening tonight of posting, unpacking and movie watching (work related). Instead, I fell asleep. I didn't mean to fall asleep -- it just happened. Must be exhaustion from carrying all the rugs back and forth.
