William Devane in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Unbelievably brilliant.

Colleen Dewhurst, Jason Robards, and Ed Flanders in A Moon for the Misbegotten

Three people, phenomenal actors, I came to know personally. When I was very young, I studied acting at Circle In The Square Theater School with Michael Kahn. I remember sneaking and hiding behind the seats to watch Colleen and George C. Scott, directed by Jos茅 Quintero, in Desire Under the Elms!

Geraldine Page

I saw everything she was in that I could! Particularly memorable, Agnes of God.

Robert Fairchild and Leanne Cope in An American in Paris

I don't want to forget musical theatre, of which was so much a part of my early career. Recently, the beautiful couple in An American in Paris, Robert Fairchild and Leanne Cope. They thrilled me as dancers and actors.

On the Twentieth Century

Then, of course, Kristin Chenoweth along with her wonderful male co-stars, were sensational in On the Twentieth Century. Fabulous!

Larry David in Fish in the Dark

I saved the juiciest experience for last. Larry David in Fish in the Dark. When the show started, in my snooty way of passing judgment, I asked, 鈥淚s this guy a trained stage actor?鈥� Midway through, I was laughing so hard that all my makeup ran off. I looked around and everyone else in the theatre was in the same laughing coma. What a guy. I fell in love.
