Well, you've read the notes, the notes were unsinkable, and now it is time for you to post until the unsinkable cows come home - they're currently performing The Unsinkable MOOly Brown.

Those were some very nice remembrances of Tammy Grimes, BK.

Loved the notes on Ms. Grimes. I never got to see her live. Millicent Martin was in 42nd Street by the time I got to see that show.

I saw Tammy Grimes only once on stage in 42nd Street. I was going to see her in California Suite but she was on a week's vacation but was replace d by Rue McClanahan who was very good. But I'm sure she would have killed in The Visitors From London (the actress going to the Academy Awards with the gay husband.)

Last night's weird dream was something to do with a colleague ransacking a porn movie office in search of materials compromising a lady friend and other nonsense pertaining to a trial.

DR JohnG, yes, I saw the "Bright star" blurb.  Rob didn't mention it yesterday.  I will ask him about it.

Nice memoirs about Tammy Grimes, BK.  Michael Valenti introduced me to her while she was working on his musical Colombe, which was based on Anouilh's play Mlle Colombe. A friend of mine in the 1970s, whom I've not seen in over forty years, had worked summer stock n Florida, and he had a bawdy but hilarious story about her.

I used to be friends with Amanda Plummer, but I haven't seen her in twenty years.  I adored her.
