My Mom knew Stephen Nathan's father in law really well from work, and well before they were married, we'd always know and watch when Jesse (her acting name was Jesse Welles, which was not the same last name as her Dad's) was on TV because her dad was course very proud. Since she was great, Mom loved being able to honestly praise her to her Dad.
So I didn't have to say to the folks "I'll be home late because I'm going to see The First Nudie Musical." I was able to say Jesse (Welles') husband is in a new musical, and I'm going to see it tonight.
