DR vixmom, I'm so sorry for your friend. When we recorded Dearest Enemy in Dublin in 2012. Stephen Rea wasset to record George Washington's role, but he had a horrible attack of shingles just before we recorded. The first week of recording, I wasn't sure if he could make it or not, and I kept wondering what to do if he canceled. Luckily, by our last day, he was well enough to come in and record the scene.
