Donald Moffat died - eighty-seven, nice long and wonderful life. What an actor he was. As some here know, we did a play together at the Mark Taper Forum in 1973 and then a year later we filmed it for PBS - I used to watch him work - no BS, no actor crap - he came in, knew his lines, and did his work. So professional. And brilliant. I saw him about twelve years ago in NY - we had a nice chat and caught up. He was one of a kind - dependable, and you always knew you'd get a top-notch performance.
