TOD:

Well if MR BK is not going to play Harry.....let's see.  I have enjoyed the suggestions already mentioned.

If we're talking about dead people:

Myron McCormick & Selma Diamond

Otherwise:

Michael Murphy & Lily Tomlin

TOD

I've had this answer ready since reading the book three months ago. I don't remember now if I had this picture of Harry Stearns in my head when I read the first book last year. I suspect I did, in a vague sense. But as soon as I started this volume, the image was fully formed and there's nothing I could do to shake it. Which is fine, because I wouldn't want to shake it. So are you ready for it? Harry Stearns is.....

Darren McGavin, in his Kolchak character - as Kolchak would appear in his later years, which is not necessarily how Mr. McGavin himself appeared in later years. The appearance, the mannerisms, perhaps with an ironic voiceover, the banter, all of it. I see him driving the Le Mans around L.A. at 25 miles per hour. I hear the vocal inflections in his crusty repartee with Bernice and in his interviewing of people who may or may not be suspects and in dealing with Phil Logan of the LAPD. I even see the older Kolchak savoring his opera collection, which Mr. McGavin might well have done, having had something of a musical performance career himself.

If the Stearns books were to be filmed, the one complication I can see is that Mr. McGavin is dead. Quite dead. And, like I said, I'm picturing a particular character at an age in which we never knew him. But hey.

I can kind of see this.

When I hear the name Harry, I also hear Barbara Barrie in her Company days. She might have made a good Bernice.

Yes.

I woke up thinking of DR Vixmom and Vixdad.  I am sorry there hasn't been any improvement.

Continued good vibes and prayers.

I like the suggestion of Lily Tomlin. Also, Diane Keaton. But Keaton is hard to cast opposite. Michael Douglas?

I'm up, I'm up, and have been up since about eight after four hours of sleep. I kept trying to go back to sleep to no avail. Otherwise, I just did stuff I needed to do. I already had the first food o' the day but it was very light - a BLTA. I have a breakfast burrito on order for later and that's pretty light, too.

Eve Arden was, of course, who I pictured for Bernice, and Matthau, too, although he would not match the character physically. I modeled him physically after my uncle Al Kingston who, like Harry, was a literary agent. Bernice is the easier part to cast these days - Lily Tomlin, Bette Midler, any of those types of dames who can do dry humor. Harry is much harder to cast. Physically, Richard Dreyfuss would be fine, but I'm not sure his personality and Harry's would mesh, but he's an awfully good actor.  Enjoying the suggestions, though.

Yes he is and probably would be good.  What about Albert Brooks?

Thanks, everyone, for all your vibes. My brother-in-law is out of surgery, and it was apparently successful.

Very nice reviews of the new book, BK!  I'm a little more than halfway through, myself.


Yes, really nice reviews!
