| I agree, absolutely adorable!! Bright little girls, & loved the way he encouraged their opinions. Really glad he is still working....also one of our last links to legendary 20th century critics. | |

| Kael could be very critical--and very funny--about certain actors' talents, or lack thereof. But never once did she belittle anyone for their physical appearance, or their race. | |
