    One of the great frustrations of stage work....when you're gone, so is the work. I still like the immediacy of theater, but it's longevity can't compare to recorded media.

      @Crash Diego The blinds will probably start up next. :-)

      Actually, today & yesterday is reminiscent of OG CDaN. Blinds & quick stories intermingled. I've missed that format. Hope this continues.

    Awww. I saw her twice in plays. Once, on Broadway in Deathtrap and years later in San Francisco in Three Tall Women. RIP.

    I loved the way she spoke. She was old New York to me.

    Just watched her episode of "Wings" yesterday too, coincidentally ("Death Becomes Him"). She was great at playing the socialite Eleanor Kingsbury. Reading her wiki, it reads that her mother was a socialite. She seemed like a great lady. It also read that she died in her Manhattan apartment after a lengthy illness. I hope she didn't suffer. RIP.

    Also was Garson Kanin's wife. They were quite the stage A list couple.
