Marion Seldes, who was in the Guiness Book of World Records as the "world's most durable actress" (and may still be) was once asked about getting bored doing the same show hundreds of times. She seemed almost startled by the question. Why would she be bored when she got to watch her brilliant co-performers over and over? But, of course, Seldes LOVES theatre. LOVES, LOVES, LOVES it. Have you ever seen her in an audience? Her attention is absolute, and her response loving.
