I saw Blythe Danner tonight in Tennessee Williams' "Suddenly Last Summer." I discovered that I am NOT a Tennessee Williams devotee.
That being said, perhaps because the show has a limited run, there were some celebrities in the audience. No one radically well known, but Elizabeth Berkley, the lead in the notoriously rotten "Showgirls" was all tall and leggy and blond 2 rows ahead of me. Dylan Baker and his mom were 4 rows in front. He's a fine character actor who usually plays button-down lawyers, priests, or uptight characters. I've always enjoyed him. And in my row, author Eric Van Lustbader sat alone. I wouldn't have recognized him if he hadn't been part of the "Thriller" panel with FPW.
At any rate, the show was OK, but it was fun checking out the audience to see who was there.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
